Overview

This is an opportunity to stretch our legs after the drive down to Penrith and before we check into the George Hotel.

Its a short walk just to the North of the Town and a short distance from the hotel. We walk up a short but steep hill to the Monument and then back down through the Plantation and along the side of a cemetery.
