10/10 would go again, very nice view of sugar loaf and the valley. Thought we were going up sugar loaf but very nice alternative with cool woods.

I tried to find this site on 14th July, 2010 but we couldn't, the map was a bit out of date (OS,1994) and we really needed a better scale map,there is plenty of quarries,whether they are prehistoric or not I do not know.there is also a bank,type thing, I do not know if it is natural or man made.
