There is a beautiful path on the grounds of the Aldermere Farm in Rockport that winds and twists gradually down to the rocky shores of Penobscot Bay. It is about a mile round-trip, and there is a good amount of craggy shoreline to explore.
I have seen some unbelieveable sunrises from the beach in the winter, when the sky seems to be right on top of you. In the summertime, the cool ocean breezes sweep across the path, further enticing you to reach the shoreline. The fall brings grand colors to the farm, where the famous Belted Galloway cows roam the fields that lead to the Lily pond, on the backside of the farm.
This is a quiet place, a place where nature can truly be observed without much outside interference. The path is a public access trail. A true gift, given by Mr. Chatfield and the Maine Coast Heritage Trust.
