Formakin House (The Monkey House) Gatehouse

Highlight • Monument

Stunning early 20th-century mansion and estate—known locally as 'monkey house' due to all the stone monkeys adorning the buildings. No public access to the estate, but the monkeys can be spotted from the roadside.

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

This was a pretty good place to ride before, but now it's got a HOT NEW BIKE PATH that makes it twenty times better. Strongly recommend.
