When I visited here, it had been raining - a lot - and it was just drizzling during my walk. Not usually an issue! But I'd just like to mention that the pathways in the woods are rocky and very, very slippery when wet! So, just something to bear in mind when visiting 😊 (I cut my walk short, but I'd likely have carried on had I brought my hiking poles, for example).

Pit stop before the climb, you’ll need it. Friendly staff, replenished my water.

This was a refreshing rocky climb heading east. A small portion is muddy at the bottom after some rain.

Excellent cafe, not well signposted from the main road, just head down the cul-de-sac. Busy cafe, a good choice and you may even see an alpaca whilst you are there!
