Sightseeing
Turn left out of house and up the bridle way. Walk through the woods. At the top, turn right onto Crichel Mount Road. Walk down and you will come to Evening Hill. A lovely place to have a picnic over-looking the bay at sunset. We have left in the shed a fold up table and chairs for this.
