Low sun on a warm summer's evening picks out the vermiculated panels on the faces of the pillars. Listed Grade II, listing no.1256758, which starts: "Pair of gate piers and gates to Forde House. Early C18. Limestone ashlar piers approx 4m high, double wrought-iron gates approx 2.5m high." Forde House itself is listed Grade I, listing no.1256796. A small notice behind the camera states: "Teignbridge District Council / Forde House Offices / You are welcome to use this footpath which forms part of Forde House Offices complex but The Council does not intend it to be dedicated as a public right of way." This casts an unnecessary legalistic shadow over a beautiful walk. Tagged as 'grounds' since it would appear not to be public open space, despite informal access being possible.
