    Tips

    Hiking

    This area is renowned for its dramatic geological features, including sandstone outcrops that have earned names like Druid's Needle, The Eagle, and The Dancing Bear. These formations have developed over millions of years through the forces of erosion. This southern part of the site offers a more relaxed woodland walk, the striking rock formations are found further to the north.
