Only a few minutes walk from the car park on Quissett Harbour, but most enjoyable, with some small animals visible along the way and also a number of flowers and shrubs.

Overall this was a nice place to visit with some nice trails and views, but really it was just nice, not great. The really great thing about it is that it is dog friendly.

Our family stopped here before getting on the ferry to MV. We enjoyed it so much we hardly wanted to leave. Can't wait to go back again! Just breathtaking!
