3 Continue straight ahead, going through a field and a couple of gates. Head through the woodland before turning right and continuing on the track.

4 Follow the track as it bends to the right and progresses uphill. Bear right, then head through the car park to the road.

5 Take a right from the car park, then left up some steps, then cross over the road. Take the path heading left alongside the wall. The path will take you up to the tower and some great views. To get back to the car park, follow the rail around to the top of the steps and take these back to the car park.
