A really enjoyable walk past Shearwater Lakes and up through the woods. Some uphill, but at a leisurely stroll it will take approx 45 mins to an hour. Worth taking a flask and sitting on one of the benches to soak in the view. Home created maps on table in hall but easy to find route on a mobile app.
