 The Land 

The land extends around the property and is split into formal gardens, woodland and pasture. 

The woodland was left fairly much untouched for 25 years and the current owners are now beginning to clear paths and manage the woodland.  It is a haven for wildlife, both flora and forna and a lovely place to stroll. 

The gardens extend to some 3.5 acres and are a mixture of meadows, gorse banks, trees and shrubs all of which have been chosen for their suitability to the environment. 

The remaining land is pasture, most of which is flat.  However, to the sides of the hill fort, there is steeper ground.  The fort lies on top of a small hill and the original fort with banked sides is perfectly in tact.  From the fort there are fine views over open country towards the coast.  The pasture extends to some 12.5 acres including the fort and is, at present, home to a small heard of Jerseys.
