Overview

Woodland walk, with some hilly bits, from near Staunton to Highmeadow Woods via the striking rock formations of Buckstone, Suckstone and Near Hearkening Rock and leading up to the Kymin for its stunning panorama. Here too stand the Round House, built for Lord Nelson’s visit, and a naval temple. Great views, weather permitting.
