Was expecting a little more… some photos I had seen made it look really cool to visit but my experience was average at best.

Nice little walk. No entry charge local attraction.

Nice for walk, uphill nice to go when it is sunny and clear sky, parking needs to be done by roadside. Lovely open spaces and woodland. Good habitat for wildlife as well.
