    Hiking

    The ruined buildings are not actually castle ruins but old quarry buildings built around 1907. The hill was quarried from 1908 to 1937, largely for Dhustone. This hard, durable, almost black stone was used in building and for making tram line setts.

    Great old castle ruins. Beware the sharp drop and the many sheep!
