A great walk! Good paths, fast walking, varied views.
This is an excellent walk, on good and largely even paths, and with relatively gentle gradients. The distance is a bit more than a stroll, as implied by the description, but it is not a hard walk. Wonderful wild flowers in areas where the pine trees are less dense.
Pleasant walk on very clear paths – bit more than a “stroll” but not overly hard.
