The road along Narrow Neck is pretty good, ordinary cars can do it, just take it easy. The carpark is about 2km along Narrow Neck.<\/p>\n

From the carpark, head down past the locked gate for about 1km to the Castle Head sign, on the left.<\/p>\n

Follow the well-identified track out to Castle Head. There are a few wonderful elevated spots along the way that give amazing views. Take care of kids there, the first step is a big one.<\/p>\n

When you get to the Cairn at the highest point, continue one for about 50m to a wonderful spot for morning tea\/lunch.<\/p>\n

Pack a snack and enjoy it along the way or on Castle Head.<\/p>\n
