125th anniversary trail
2020 was the 125th anniversary of the National Trust in 2020, so to celebrate we created this 1.25km walk. This accessible walk meanders along woodland paths, past wild meadows and towards stretching sea views.
Looking for a longer walk?
From step 4 you can follow the stepped path down the garden and out on to the South West Coast Path. This path follows a steep descent, so is not suitable for wheelchairs, buggies, or those looking to avoid steps.
