Leith Hill Rhododendron Wood Walk, Leith HillWalking route800 m

A gentle walk through Rhododendron Wood; Created in 1800s by Caroline Wedgwood (botanist & Charles Darwin's sister) before being given to the NT in 1944. The wood suffered damage during the Great Storm (1987), so restoration work has shaped the area.
