A natural path leads up the left of the garden, with hedging and mature trees creating a copse and boundary to the left. Moving upward, the garden is a delight of mature shrubs and flowers, including swathes of ornamental daisies, hyacinth bluebells and forget-me-nots. Fruit trees, fruit bushes and a mature strawberry patch are also featured amongst the riot of planting. Views across Lynmouth Bay to Foreland Point emerge, along with wide-reaching countryside and village views At the top of the garden is a large summerhouse/storage shed, positioned to take full advantage of the beautiful views, with windows to the front and toward the sea. From here, one can look down over the village of Lynton, Watermouth Valley and over Lynmouth Bay toward Foreland Point. The natural path continues on the other side of the garden and descends through apple trees, flowers and a vegetable patch, to the hedge and guard-rail to the rear of the house.
