Probably fine for lone hikers but no good if you have a dog ...

Probably fine for lone hikers but no good if you have a dog on a lead - gates double padlocked and no way through . I abandoned after a mile and went back to England where they welcome visitors.

Enjoyable walk with great views. Mixture of surfaces, would recommend walking boots in winter. Slopes generally moderate with a few quite steep sections. Could not find any parking near the start of the route and had to find an area to park appx 1km away from the middle of the route. Quite a few stiles not suitable for larger dogs and several fields containing sheep. What was particularly good was the information about historical points of interest along the route which popped up on my phone screen. I have never come across this before and found it really interesting.
