Step 1
Cross the cobbled courtyard and climb the steps at the far end of the lawn.
Step 2
Follow the path across the lawn and cross over the driveway.
Step 3
Continue along the path to the boathouse and cross the stream. Look out for a folly to your right along the way.
Step 4
Follow the path through the woodland, which is dominated by beech. In the spring, this area is carpeted with bluebells.
Step 5
After the bridge, the path splits in two: take the right-hand path. As you walk along you'll notice small quarries: these provided building stone for the original house.
Step 6
Continue along the path, turning right at the junction at the top of the hill. At the bottom of a flight of steps turn right.
Step 7
On your left is the walled garden, with a small pond on your right. The garden would have been used to supply fruit and vegetables to the house and would have incorporated a large greenhouse.
Step 8
Continue past the larger pond on your left and then take the steps down.
Step 9
At the bottom of the steps turn right. This path will take you back to the courtyard.
