In addition, there are several walks down to the coast line.

Wake up early and there is a good chance you will see one or more of the deer that pass through the grounds. Barn owls, woodpeckers, jays, nut hatches are among the numerous types of birds that are frequent visitors - especially if you leave out some food on the bird table (watch the squirrels don't eat it first though!).
