This walk explores parts of the old Acland-Hood Estate, now known as the Fairfield Estate. The walk takes in the beautiful, abandoned churches of St Andrew’s in Lilstock and St Nicholas Wayfarer’s in Kilton before heading into the open coastal farmland of the estate.
On reaching the coast it explores the ruins of what was once a thriving port established by the Acland family in the first half of the nineteenth century. Dating as far back as 1589, its heyday was in the mid-19th Century when it was busy with goods for the estate and welcoming pleasure steamers travelling between Lilstock, Ilfracombe, Cardiff and Burnham-on-Sea.
