Stunning trail that runs above Sterndale before dropping sharply into the valley.

Just be aware that the edge is not protected and it is a sheer drop. The path also turns from long grass to limestone rock with a technical section (only about 5 metres but it can catch you a little unawares). Stunning on a sunny day.

Definitely not for the faint of heart, stare down into the valley and keep leaning to the right. Rocky drop into the valley at the end
