Sightseeing
Local places within easy striking distance from The Studio; some are natural and others historical and a few are great places to eat and spend some time mooching about:)
Fantastic views from many vantage points, all within walking distance of numerous car parks dotted along the length of the hills. Easy walks or strenuous routes - it's your choice! There are also 3 great cycle routes marked for those who love using 2 wheels and there's information in The Studio so you can plan your rides and/or walks.
Fabulous sunsets (and sunrises) await you up top:)
We can advise you where to park for good walking and cycling routes - some of the parking is free and some places you have to use designated car parks.
