You will be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views over the gorge and the surrounding area. This walk does involve a steep 15 minute ascent on an uneven path which can get muddy when there has been rain so this stop is optional as it may not be suitable for everyone.

If you would like to do this activity, please select this option at the time of booking. After lunch at a village pub you will be driven to your next holiday destination.
