Get Directions

Mainly following forest roads, this walk offers a tranquil escape with peaceful breaks at bubbling streams, the chance to hear birdsong, see deer, rabbits, foxes and hares, while birds of prey hunt the valley, fragrant pine scents the air and foxglove and many mountain grasses surround. A spur to a viewing point gives fine views towards the Blackstairs Mountains.
