Freemantle Gate is the original entrance to Appuldurcombe House. It was built from a mixture of Isle of Wight and Portland stone and is said to be the work of architect James Wyatt. The grounds beyond the arch were designed by Capability Brown and Appuldurcombe itself was described as one of the most significant houses of the English Baroque style

This old gateway was once the main entrance to the Appuldurcombe Estate, now owned by English Heritage. The public bridleway runs through the side gate.

When you drive up the slope, the view is equally beautiful. With the gate as a gift. A beautiful path.
