Beautiful place nice walk really enjoyed the experience. Bit History to the old lime kilns, lovely long walks, as far as you try, ideal dog walks. Yet it was the views I enjoyed, fileds, squirrels, nature cows, goats, birds it was all going on highly recommended. Cafe was popular, quirky had some variety of novelty items very good I liked that echoes, not quite unfortunately but it does have a outside for dogs kids,. I enjoyed it. Recommend oh yes must be visited I think 🤔 you would like it goytre wharf is a lovely place.
