👍👍 Beautiful walks around this area. However, if you're looking for the hidden waterfall it's on the red trail and do not go up the hill to follow the trail around, go straight forwards. Then there's some rocks to climb over the water and you go through the cliffs where it comes out. It is very beautif...

Morgan McVeighs
Restaurant
👍 Excellent food that didn't take all day to arrive. You grab your own napkins and silverware and sit wherever you want and they had many delicious looking deserts as well. I have to ding them for their slightly sterile environment, but they have it wear it counts...plus they're adjacent to a small...

Thorneybank Farm Shop
Farm shop
👍👍 A farm shop which has installed huge vending machines to manage their stock rather than use a honesty box. A shame they had to do that, but the concept is very cool and younger (and older) members of our family love visiting the vending machine shop. Could do with more veggie/vegan options, quite l...

National forest
👍👍 Approximately 5 kilometres from the car park (free) to the top (photo). The rocks on top can be climbed, but obviously be careful. Regardless of the weather when you start, it will be much colder at the top, and significantly windy. As with all hiking, ensure you bring water, layers for warmth, and...
