Lovely walk with beautiful views

Walker review

Car park now accepts pay by phone. No ice cream van sadly. Fantastic walk, clear route, brilliant views.

Walker review

Nice route. Will need cash for car park unless you have NT concession. Would recommend decent footwear as easy to turn an ankle in parts.
