The Hobby Drive is home to internationally important species of lichen (more than 250 varieties) and the mystical woodlands afford spellbinding glimpses of the coast. Hobby Drive was built between 1811 and 1829 by Sir James Hamlyn Williams as part of the Romantic movement, which celebrated the beauty of the natural world in response to the increasing emphasis placed on science and logic following the Industrial Revolution.
