Hiking
You can really step back in time at this spot. During the 7th Century, the palace of King Edwin of Northumbria and his successors was at Gefrin. Excavations have revealed a huge complex of great halls more than 85 feet (26 m) in length here. Be sure to check out the monument on the northern side.
