Great place for photos. Can be hard going on the knees for more mature walkers so hiking sticks may be useful. Can be very icy during colder months. Well worth a visit.

There are steps in both directions - down then up. Fortunately not too many of them but there is quite a drop between some individual steps, which are quite steep, others a bit more shallow.
