A lovely area to walk to along a boarded path (carparks available if not on foot) .....impressive, mature gardens with magnolia and azalea trees and even giant wild rhubarb! Stroll around the lakes , visit a real blacksmith and explore the craft shops and Manor house. Cockington village is thatched mainly and very charming.
