    Hiking

    Balmoral cairns and the pyramid make an interesting journey though the woodland. The highlight of the walk is the Pyramid, built to commemorate Prince Albert. The Pyramid can be visited directly on a shorter path, or for a round trip to walk to all the cairns, allow for 3 hours, and about 10km of walking from the car park.
