Blackshaw Head

Highlight • Viewpoint

Good hard climb but we'll worth it for the views. Not the best place to be on a wet and windy day though, it's rather exposed

Goat Farm

Highlight • Structure

Adorable little goats

Tip by

9.14 km

You have to be careful when you take long tour that takes in Easter Island heads and The Bridal stones on the way to the heads the path goes through a farm where he's put up a fence to stop you. We had to Backtrack to the road and carry on round it added on about 2K however a great walk in all.
