Wildlife and Walking

Explore our unspoilt grounds, there may be cattle or sheep grazing the pastures. Hunt for sloes, wild damsons or hazelnuts in the hedgerows, harvest blackberries and enjoy the abundance of wildlife. Rabbits galore, buzzards that soar the thermals above the valley, ducks that dive, listen for the woodpeckers and watch the tame geese who march to the lakes on their daily routine!

We provide maps and ideas for local walking, plus a comprehensive folder full of  What's On and the ' best places' to go. We are local owners with a wealth of local knowledge to help you make the most of your stay.

Enjoy breathtaking views from the coastal footpath accessible from Highway Farm and well worth the effort.
Bus no. 31 and the Jurassic bus no. 53 stop every hour right outside our driveway covering from Exeter to Poole daily. It's a great way to discover the coastal footpaths. Walk to Charmouth or Lyme Regis and catch the bus back!

If you are planning a serious walk along The South West Coastal Footpath, you may find this company helpful www.luggagetransfers.co.uk and the SW Coastal Footpath Association www.swcp.org.uk 

Why not stay with us for 3 or 4 nights and use the bus, we are happy to help with your plans, Lyme Regis to Weymouth, not forgetting Portland!
Then you'll be in need of refreshment! Try our local Pub, the Ilchester Arms, in the village of Symondsbury and a 15 minute walk from the farm. Lovely traditional thatched pub with garden where you can enjoy a local pint, good food, a huge open fire in the winter and a very warm welcome!

A recommendation:
'We arrived at Highway Farm soaked to the bone but were met with a very warm welcome.  Pauline soon had our gear out to dry including putting our boots on the aga which meant they were dry and warm the next day.  Highway Farm is easy to reach from the coast path and the Jurassic Coast bus runs past the front door making it an ideal base for walking the south coast path. Thanks again for looking after us'

Tony Thickett and family, stayed 28th & 29th May 08
