Happy Tree-Mendous Tuesday
We are going back to Beaulieu today so Bith Sue & myself will catch up on comments later today:
Longleat is a vast estate with many paths. An excellent walk is from Nockatt car park (on the road to Horningsham past the main entrances) up to Heavens Gate. This provides a superb vantage point to a panorama across the estate. From there take a path leading down to the left through woodland with bluebells through an open field and past a lake. This brings you to an exit road leading from the house. A few years ago it was possible to enter the arboretum (or pleasure walk) by going through a large wooden door (but access has now been stopped & all visitors have to go through the pay booths to enter the estate) This used to take you to the house and attractions or you can head into High Wood. There is a cafe around the side of the house or have picnic by the lake and watch the hippos and sea lions. Take the main road out of Longleat and turn right at the top of the hill, with views over the safari park. Excellent birdwatching with garden warblers, ravens and spotted flycatchers along the way.
