Hiking

This is a very easy to reach top that is quite varied in terms of terrain. The way up can feel quite long, but the views from the top are worth it and the way down affords for great views ahead. The walks through the estate and the meadows at the beginning and the end of the walk comes with beautiful woodland trails and the rhododendron along the way is stunning when in full bloom. Good sturdy shoes are a good idea as the top is boggy in places. It is well worth adding the second, sligthly lower top.
