Walk 1
Walk 1 Red Trail (1.4 miles) | Time:40 mins |
This is a delightful short walk following the well signed red trail; it includes one climb and a descent. A From the car park, go through a gate then turn left and climb steadily to Eastdon Woods. B The path runs through 2 hedges. After second hedge turn left - this bit is somewhat steep. At the top turn right and follow path along wood until you reach a beautifully carved wooden owl. C From here you can enjoy spectacular views of Haldon , the obelisk (looking like a white chimney sticking out of the woods),and Mamhead House, a fawny coloured Georgian mansion. Stand behind the owl and peep through its head - on a clear day you should be able to see rocks jutting into the sea. Continue along this path and descend to the bottom of the field. D Take a left turn and follow the path along the edge of the park back to the car park. |
