The leisurely circular 1.5-mile stroll through the woods to the observatory and finishing with homemade refreshments at the point-to-point hut below takes place on Sunday, May 14 from 10am to 1pm.

It is a rare opportunity, by kind permission of The Duke of Northumberland, to visit both the crag and observatory which are not normally open to the public.
