Overview

A hilly walk up the Little Doward hill fort and down to the river, then crossing the river by the Biblins suspension bridge and uphill again to the Yat Rock cafe and picnic site. A chance to see Peregrines from the viewpoint. Steeply down to the river again and back over the suspension bridge and up to the car park. If the river is uncrossable due to high water levels there will be a Plan B around the Great Doward!
