A great, flat hike to the top. You can enjoy the various hills and the view of the sea. Plan on about two hours. Note: There are only about 10-15 parking spaces, but there are plenty of sheep.

Back home and caught a few min of a dryspell during a typical November day. Missed the peace and quiet and the hills.
