Locality (close to: Bridport)
Tranquil rural location just one mile from the coastal footpaths, the Market Town of Bridport and a good local pub!
Explore our unspoilt grounds, there may be cattle or sheep grazing the pastures. Hunt for sloes, wild damsons or hazelnuts in the hedgerows, harvest blackberries and enjoy the abundance of wildlife. Rabbits galore, buzzards that soar the thermals above the valley, ducks that dive, listen for the woodpeckers and watch the tame geese who march to the lakes on their daily routine!
Maps of walks and a comprehensive folder of local information, attractions and events are available for guests and we have a wealth of local knowledge to offer.
The breathtaking views from the coastal footpath are accessible from Highway Farm and well worth the effort ! Bus 31 stops opposite the entrance to Highway Farm and is a good way of walking the coastal footpaths - you can walk to Charmouth and catch the bus back!
Our local Pub, the Ilchester Arms in the village of Symondsbury is a half-mile walk along country lanes where you can enjoy a local pint, good food and a warm welcome!
Two established and sheltered spring-fed lakes well stocked with plenty of strains and sizes of carp to 12lbs, also lots of roach, rudd and goldfish. Located in a secluded valley and the perfect place to relax and reflect away from the hustle and bustle. Enjoy the tranquil Dorset countryside and view the wonderful wildlife at first hand. You may see our two kingfishers or the regular heron visitor and fox, rabbit, and deer if you are really quiet! We have identified 4 species of bat that feed near the water at night-time.
Fishing lessons for beginners available, excellent for increasing concentration and self-esteem, and catch some fish too!
Environmental Agency Fishing Licences are required. No night fishing.
