WATTLE PARK – SKYE
WATTLE PARK – SKYE >
    

This is really a single walk with a number of variations. All the walks begin at, and return to, the Wattle Park shops where there is easy parking.  

From here, walk east up Kensington Road, a steep climb to reach the lookout.  Even on this walk you may see some wild life, like this sleepy fellow just by the road:

The lookout gives good views of the Stonyfell Quarry, and across the plains to the city.





From behind the lookout there is a short, easy, grassy (and surprisingly) east – west track which links to McBeath Drive in Skye.  There are spectacular views over the plains from this track.  It always gives me a thrill, walking this stretch.  Behind is Gandy’s Gully.

Here is a view of the ridge from below.

Continuing on from the gate at the end of McBeath Drive there are a number of possible ways to return.
