On your Doorstep…

A footpath through the fields at the rear leads to Queen Victoria’s obelisk which affords stunning, panoramic views of the river Camel tidal estuary. Walk around the adjacent duck pond and a short flight of steps gives direct access to the Camel Trail cycle way (former railway line) and the South-West Coast Path.
