Take a short detour off the coast path and you'll reach this little hut, built into the hill.

Reverend Robert Steven Hawker was the vicar at Morwenstow Church from 1834. Both compassionate and eccentric, he was known locally as Parson Hawker and built this hut from driftwood where he would smoke opium and write poetry. His most famous work was 'The Song of the Western Men'. Although published anonymously, Charles Dickens named him as the author.

Once here, you know why Parson did love this spot - stunning views of the coastline are guaranteed.

It’s even more remarkable that it is National Trust (their smallest site!) and completely free of charge 🤩.
