Despite the cloudy day this walk gave us some great long views of the relatively flat area north and Stockhorn to the West.
Located in the UNESCO Biosphere, this walk passes moorland where peat was dug for fuel - the landscape is still scarred with the lines of the extraction and there are a few noticeboards on the moor at Mettilimoos telling you about the history.
