There is a pond just off the main path. A lovely space for a break and a picnic. It's just a few minutes' walk from the visitor centre.

Millstone Hill Trail Junction to Mither Tap

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nicely signposted in the middle of the bushes. The Millstone Hill Trail branches off north to Mither Tap.
I liked the footbridges that you balance on here.
