Walks

There's lots of things for canines to explore here, although they do need to be kept under close control. The woodland is a mixture of oak, ash and beech and is a wonderfully shady place to spend your time.

From the back of the house, paths lead down to a harbour and there are boardwalks over reedbeds which lead to Holes Bay, an enjoyably tranquil spot.

All the major paths are accessible to wheelchair users.
