Stunning spot. Some of the best birdsong I have heard on the trip at sunset and sunrise. Amazing views over the countryside. Peaceful and quiet. I wish I could have stayed longer. Would be a good place to chill with a book and a glass of wine (or two lololol). Peace! Chunk.

Perfect 360° view. Calm place, good gravel road. Don't forget to bring a beer or wine.
