Hiking
In the ownership of the Strangways family since the 16th century, this phenomenal Grade I-listed mansion lies in expansive parkland. Deep in Hardy country, this house was the basis of King's Hintock Court in three of his stories. The house remains a private home but the Hardy Way long-distance footpath brings you within sight of the grand house and winds through its lovely park.
