Coastal Hill
by sandman  3 Sep 2017
On a clear day i would expect to be rewarded with good views across to Kid Island and Benwee but unfortunately rain and mist greeted my visit. For an easy accent, access via the overgrown farm track leading to an old house in decay (F7259636983 starA) go around the house and you will notice a gate leading onto a farm track heading uphill follow same and you will come to what seems to be a well protected grassy field keep to the right and continue your accent to the summit.
