Enjoy stunning coastal walks covering nearly all these areas and savour glorious views. The walking and cycling trails are extensive both from Dove House and nearby locations. We can direct you to some great circular walks to justify that big supper in the evening. There are more gardens, National Trust properties, houses, and locations than you could ever fit in a one-week visit. The Tourist Board can provide the annual National Garden Scheme booklet for open gardens prior to your stay.
