Overview

We’ll circle around the eastern side of the reserve to the Blakemoorgate miners cottages, before descending to Snailbeach via a section of the miner’s trail. Crowsnest Dingle is our route back up to the ridge. After a fairly long climb (it’s long rather than very steep), we’ll have lunch on Oak Hill near to Castle Ring Fort. The return leg is via Shepherd’s Rock and Black Ditch. Much of the walk has fabulous views so let’s hope skies are clear.
