We took the chairlift up to the top of 'The Nut' it saves a steep climb and the views are wonderful. Once at the top there is a 2 kilometre walk around the top of what is the core of an old volcano. There are some great views to be had from several viewing points. Wildlife is surprisingly plentiful, and depending what time of the year you visit it's possible to see nesting Short Tailed Shearwaters or Mutton-birds as they were once commonly known. I would suggest walking round 'The Nut' clockwise as there are lots of steps and going clockwise means they are all down hill.
