👍👍 Other than a brief visit in 2011, this was a favourite old haunt (hike) in my student days in the late '80's, and despite the overcast weather, the moderate trek up to Peel Tower surpassed expectations. Astonishing views (shame the pictures don't do them justice) plus could still make out Blackpool...

👍 Really nice place - the trail is well maintained and has little information points throughout. There's some benches for a picnic and for the small fee of £2.50 per adult or £1 per child, it is well worth this little walk. You can pay to explore the cave or carry on walking to enjoy some lovely scene...
