50 things to do before you’re 11¾

Here are our top 3 favourite '50 things' to do this winter at Trelissick:

• #28 Climb a huge hill
  The countryside at Trelissick has a few huge hills for you to scale but our favourite has to be from the beach to the car park on the south woodland walk where you'll find spectacular views of the river and garden once you reach the top.
  
   
• #33 Go cloudwatching 
  Whether you're looking through the gaps in the canopy of trees in the woodland or from the grass of the tennis lawn there are plenty of areas to stop and see what shapes you can spot in the clouds above you. 
  
   
• #44 Watch a bird 
  Find a quiet place to sit, watch and wait to see the birds that call Trelissick home. The summerhouses are some of our favourite places to settle in for some birdwatching in the garden. See how many you can spot as they soar and sing, being careful not to startle them.
