Old school packhorse Bridge still intact with a cool stone sculpture opposite.
Not sure if you'd want to go up Packhorse Route this way, a lot of hike a bike. Unless you enjoy that.

Mountain biking

This is a lovely area that has seats for a quick rest, the views must be taken in too. This area has plenty of space to sunbathing or dipping your toes into the stream on a hot summers day.
