Timeline
11:00
Grab a coffee and a pastry at Bliss House Cafe. It is open early and close to the start, so you can begin your walk with a warm drink in hand before the midday rush.
11:03
Walk to the Cairn for Margaret Hall. The short walk from the cafe leads you to this somber stone marker. Take a moment to read the plaque and reflect on the history it commemorates in the quiet surroundings.
11:45
Head to Wild Fired – Pottery Studio. Browse the ceramics and art supplies in this local shop. It is a pleasant stop to see local craftsmanship before you finish your outing.
Local tip
The cafe is open from 08:30 on weekdays. The pottery studio is open from 13:00 on weekdays, so if you arrive before 13:00, you might just be able to look in the window or pop in if they are flexible. Check the route to the pottery studio from the cairn, as it is a short walk but requires navigating the local streets.
