This seems to be a real hot spot to see wildlife esp birds. Several buzzard, some hares and lots of other birds mobbing the buzzards, riding the air currents there. Looking into a valley.
Tough cycling in places but worth it.

Excellent stretch to see wildlife, esp birds. Several buzzards being mobbed by other birds while riding the currents (looking into valley). Few hares/rabbits and one deer today.
I was probably luck and was there fairly early in the day but definitely worth the effort. Tough going in places.

I would think to see wildlife early morning/early evening. Would be good spot for picnic on a good weather day. Could be hard going in poor weather/wet conditions.
