The drive was not worth it, I'm afraid. There was a tense movement as cows appeared from around the hill and converged on my wife. Luckily l, she didn't feel the need to run.

This can be just as well enjoyed from a distance as up close. If you do make the trip, access was via the carpark next to the playground. It was a short walk involving a style and step uneven slope.
