Gates of Fallodon West Lodge Fallodon Hall - seat of the Grey family - is a private residence, but the mile-long avenue from the West Lodge is a public footpath. The way that the sign for the footpath has been hidden behind a pillar on the inside of the gate suggests the landowner is trying to keep that fact quiet from those not in possession of a map.

Fallodon Avenue (2) Fallodon Hall - seat of the Grey family - is a private residence, but the mile-long avenue from the West Lodge is a public footpath. The road appears to have been deliberately set out to bend gently left and right within the belt of trees forming the avenue, perhaps to bring a sense of exploration rather than having a long straight vista.
