A glimpse of what awaits

Our Mini Stonehenge seating circle: somewhere for a quiet moment, a conversation or a pause beneath the trees.

Slow down beside the water and see what you notice. Birdlife and colours change through the seasons.

Bring a picnic, find a sheltered seat and leave a little time for simply being outdoors.
The full trail map and practical walking details are shared with staying guests.
