Check out Magic Meadow, within walking distance of house
If you turn left out of our driveway, and make your way around Loop Road, right after you get to the top of the hill, and go past the driveway of the Pyramid House [triangular modern house on left], you will see a little path off to the left, by a 'No Hunting' sign on a tree, that goes through the woods. There's some construction going on. Take that path through the woods out to a big beautiful meadow, and walk to the top of the meadow. You will not be disappointed by the views! This field is common land, co-owned with our neighbors. Enjoy a fabulous sunset or a camp out by the fire pit.
