The first part of the walk is pretty steep going through the forest . When coming off the ridge there is an easier path to your left hand side as descending back down from the ridge is steep .
The car park is national trust owned and pay and display (free to NT members with card).
The walk starts to the left of the car park entrance, there is an information board that shows a map and a nice circular walk as opposed to straight up and down, is about a 4 mile loop I think.
