Parks & Nature

Beautiful place for a walk with far reaching views across the Lyth Valley and out to Morecambe Bay. Apparently you can spot Blackpool Tower on very clear days. The Pale barked, wind stunted trees and scrubby juniper bushes give the landscape a hobbity feel. There is a vertiginous drop down to the valley on the right.
