Great for family walk. Offers alot more.
by Nakoz  23 Jul 2018
I was surprised this place is so well maintained. All trials are visible roads are covered with chipping stones and its very clean. Almost like Tintern Abbey. Great place for family walk but if you want a challenge there is a trail straight up the fields along the forest and you can make it to the top in several minutes.
