Our verdict
Two visits in one — pay for the house and terraces if the Trust's your thing, or just walk the free woodland ridge above and get the estuary views. The woods on their own merit an hour; the whole package fills a half day nicely.
A fourteenth-century manor tucked under Court Hill, with ilex and beech woods climbing the slope behind its terraced gardens. Public paths run through the woods along the ridge, looking over Clevedon to the Severn estuary.
National Trust manor with terraced gardens and woodland walks. House and grounds keep NT opening hours and charges — the woodland paths on Court Hill are free public rights of way.
