East Tichberry farm walk
Follow the butterfly way markers around the 15th-century farm and see how we’re helping nature from re-wetting work to wildflower margins and woodland creation. Take in views across the coast to Lundy Island, look out for seals at Shipload Bay, and enjoy the wildflowers in bloom during the summer. This short route is step free and has plenty of benches along the way to sit and enjoy the view.
