There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility.
This driftwood cabin overlooks the cliff top in North Cornwall, however, I didn't get to see it because of a locked gate. It was made for a parson named Hawker, and was his quiet retreat with stunning views.
Robert Stephen Hawker (3 December 1803 – 15 August 1875) was an Anglican priest, poet, antiquarian of Cornwall and reputed eccentric. He is best known as the writer of The Song of the Western Men with its chorus line of And shall Trelawny die? / Here's twenty thousand Cornish men / will know the reason why!, which he published anonymously in 1825. His name became known after Charles Dickens acknowledged his authorship of "The Song of the Western Men" in the serial magazine Household Words.
He was an eccentric man, known for dressing up as a mermaid and excommunicating his cat for mousing on a sunday!
