Yellow walk
This walk involves some ascents around the crags that lie in and around the woodland. Cockcrow stone perches precariously on the crag from where views of the Coquetdale valley and Simonside hills are framed by ancient coniferous trees. The walk is particularly pleasant when the azaleas are in bloom in May
