The Redgods Fortress

The Redgods Fortress
This is an amazing walk, that takes in some spectacular rock formations on the top. The path is good, for most of the walk and the rock formations, and views are spectacular.

Its called the `Red God Fortress` as you get to explore a rocky fort like set of rocks, high up on the mountain. A wonderful area to explore and admire great views

This is a great walk to get out and enjoy the mountain. It will challenge you a little bit but its very scenic, has a beautiful cave, great rocks, and an solid way down.
As this is a hidden place, and unknown to the tourist industry, the PDF attached, is unlocked after a small fee is paid. The PDF contains full details on how to get to this incredible place along with other fascinating information about the area.
