The Old Teahouse is a ruined belvedere dating back to the 18th century and likely linked to the settlement of Noss Mayo. It occupies a fantastic lookout spot on the South West Coast Path. The ground floor remains with a complete, brick arch.

Hiking

Here starts a handy little detour that allows you to avoid a rather nasty climb on the SWCP if your legs get tired. Just turn inland and follow the cow trail. Special thanks to the local who gave us the tip 😊
