Sharon --

It's well worth setting aside a day to explore the Hill, and the surrounds... -- especially if you can get hold of some of the material that explains the history of the quarrying that has made it what it is today. (The Devil's Chimney was actually built by the quarrymen as something of a joke. Sadly, the only place you can really see it as a landmark from is Leckhampton Co-op!)

Cheers...

In all the years I've lived near it, I've never been there! Will have to put that right.
