My partner took my here for as part of my birthday treat - I was frankly expecting it to be sub-standard but boy - was I wrong! The walk has its peaks and troughs, hilly parts and some lovely views. I would recommend buying a map from the little snack trailer at the start - its 50p and points out... More

Extremely busy because it was a lovely sunny day. Visit on a weekday when it's quieter & take a picnic. Arrive early so you can park on the road & not pay for parking.
