It is about 45minutes- 1 hour drive from us (depending on the roads).

Gentle, easy-going walk (sometimes there are cows at the first part of the walk but provided you keep your distance they tend to be fine). Lovely place for a picnic and a paddle/swim.

Stunning my scenery, no matter the weather. Panoramic views.
The walk can be as easy or difficult as you wish. It’s even worth just stopping to get out and look at the view whilst you’re there if you don’t have time to hike.

Beautiful views. Walk can be steep in places, takes roughly 2-3 hours but the path is well laid out. The views are amazing and the old man of store rock is interesting to see.
