At White Cross you’ll find a free, off-road car park with tree cover and remarkable views. Looking west, the entire Otter Valley seems to unfold for your pleasure alone. Patchwork fields in yellows and greens blanket the valley floor and you can see for miles.

Mist and low cloud sometimes hang in this valley, allowing you to experience a wonderful feeling of being much higher than you really are.
