It's a 45 minute trail, very beautiful. If you've been before there is so much more this year. I think there are still tickets available. They also have stalls at the end to get something to eat or drink and the cafe is open. Only downside :) is your pictures cannot capture it all. · via Google [Esther Ludbrook](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104255628514116067756/reviews) ★★★★★ We went for an afternoon and had a great time!
