The farm has two large areas of moorland, designated as SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest), extensive semi-ancient woodland, and modern tree plantations. It even has its own beach (but it's rocky and not suitable for swimming) with cliffs designated as a geological site of Special Scientific Interest due to lovely exposures of Devonian rocks (350m years old) with interesting folded strata.

The farm also has it's our own Roman archaeology, the "Old Burrow" c 50 AD was built in the reign of Claudius. The earth works of an army encampment are clearly visible.

There nearest sandy beach is at Lee Abbey, a 15 drive minute drive away, and is lovely. The big surfing beaches at Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe are about 45-60 minutes away by car.

Lynton is the nearest town (10 minute drive West) and Porlock and Minehead (10 and 20 minutes respectively to the East) have plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes and other amenities.

There are many walking routes on the farm and close by. Please feel free to explore wherever you want, but please leave gates either open or closed, whichever they were when you came to them.
