Hiking
A pleasant walk with a chance to see deer at the viewpoint, with some steep slopes. You will walk past a 'rabbit type' (which this walk takes its name from), meaning a rabbit trap: these are an important part of Dalby’s history when rabbits were farmed for fur. These 'rabbit types' are, in fact, scheduled monuments in England, spots of historical significance.
