πŸ‘ A very unique place. Worth to stop and walk up. But my young kids were a bit struggled to get up. Need good hiking shoes. The wind was very strong when we went. It will be better if its dry and calm day.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Stop off to have a drink this afternoon. Well impressed with welcoming staff and atmosphere, we decided to come back for dinner. Most accommodating when rung to see if we could make a booking, that they even pick us up in their courtesy van. Great meal and service. Definitely will be back.
