This is one of our favourite forest walks and takes only about 30 minutes each way. The path starts right behind the guest house, takes you over a wood lot (follow the pink ribbons), and into a forest path. Keep right at three intersections and walk past the phone tower. The view point is located next to a Bronze Age burial mound (pile of rocks), and is fitted with a fire pit and a log book.
