Heaven's Gate
Access from Wayfarer's Walk.
Open: Easter Bank Holiday to August Bank Holiday, 7 days per week.
Dogs on leads.
About a mile past the Three Legged Cross coming from the west on the Wayfarers Walk, is a signed turning to a seasonal walk towards a brick folly called Heaven’s Gate.
This Walk is open from Easter to the August Bank Holiday and goes through a Beech wood planted by Robert Herbert in about 1730, to the brick folly he built in 1743.
It is an archway framing views north to Wantage and is an ornamental building to be admired from Highclere Castle. The beech trees are planted throughout Highclere and grow successfully on the chalk downlands.
