At this point we take a detour to see Grim's Dyke and Lady Gilbert's Orchard before returning to this point. Follow the upper arrow pointing to the left down an avenue at the end of which Grimsdyke House is just visible. You pass between two magnificent Wellingtonias Sequoiadendron giganteum. Redwoods like these were discovered in the 1850s during the Californian gold rush and are amongst the largest living things on earth. In spring primroses grow at the base of the trees.
At the end of the short path there is a wonderful view of Grimsdyke House, now a hotel which often hosts Gilbert and Sullivan themed concerts and events. Turn left and descend a short way, looking out for post 6 on the left of the path.
To next post, post 6
