The barn has its own enclosed garden which backs on to a quarter acre of lawn - large enough for energetic games. The barn garden contains its own 'henge' constructed from granite hewn for the farm's gates hundreds of years ago. The owners have dug ponds and planted hundreds of trees and native hedges to attract wild life. A productive vegetable garden, soft fruit garden and orchard have been established. An owl box has been built over the front door to try to attract one of the barn owls that can be seen hunting on Bodmin Moor at dusk. Slits are built into the roof slates to give extra shelter to the bats that can be seen swooping around the eves at dusk. But best of all, so our visitors always tell us, is the peace and quiet.
