Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now
- 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
- 🍄Mushroom foraging is at its best in summer here
- 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days

Well made footpath that takes you towards Cul Mor giving a wild experience but on a easily followed track. Beyond the cairn the path becomes more challenging, muddier and easier to become lost.
