A number of stacked loops totalling 11km meander through the forest adjacent to St. Nora Lake. This trail system offers a little bit of everything, from millennia old geological formations which give insight into the last significant ice age, to large bogs, towering cliff faces, mixed forests, challenging climbs and spectacular lookouts. Be sure to pack lunch and your camera because you can spend an entire day exploring these trails.
The High Cliff trail seems to be less busy than the other trails at the Frost Centre. I suspect this is because the first little bit is a very steep switchback, which discourages casual walkers and those with children. The views aren't great (this was the best), but the relative peace and quiet were well worth a few minutes of hard climbing!

Eshaness can boast one of the highest energy coastlines in the world. Blasted by the full force of the North Atlantic it displays a stunning array of stacks, blowholes and geos (narrow inlets). However, the Eshaness peninsula also tells a fascinating story of a long extinct volcano and a very different past environment.
During the Devonian period, 350 - 400 million years ago Shetland lay near the Equator at the heart of large supercontinent and experienced a tropical climate, which varied from wet and humid to dry and arid. The Eshaness volcano lay at the north end of a broad valley containing a massive freshwater lake called Lake Orcadie.
The spectacular cliffs you see today cut right through the flank of what was the Eshaness volcano. It has been described as 'the best section through the flank of a volcano in the British Isles'
The cliffs reveal layer upon layer of lava and 'pyroclastic' rock, (volcanic ash that was blasted through the air from the volcanic crater). As eruption followed eruption, these layers built up rapidly. They formed a very steep and unstable cone around a central vent, from which the lava and ash continued to spew. Although the cone at Eshaness eroded away long a fascinating array of volcanic features remain. These have been brought to life by Geopark Shetland in the self-guide trail 'Shetland's Volcano'.
Los Gigantes is a resort town in the Santiago del Teide municipality on the west coast of the Canary Island Tenerife. Its main feature are the giant rock formations, Acantilados de Los Gigantes, that rise from the sea to a height of 500-800 metres (1,640–2,625 ft) after which the town has been named. Los Gigantes means "The Giants".
Nearby to the south are the resorts of Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena. 3 km to the North is the village of Masca which can be reached by boat or car.
The town has a marina surrounded by concrete walls to dampen the effect of the rough seas around the area. A small black sand beach lies between the rocks and the marina. The marina has a boulevard with many restaurants. Close to the harbour is a lido.
The cliffs at Los Gigantes, Acantilados de Los Gigantes in Spanish, are one of the island's major tourist attractions. There are three viewpoints in the village, the main one on main road to towards Tamaimo, another above the sports club and a third on a coastal path around the Hotel Barcelo. The village has many small shops and restaurants servicing the tourists that visit the area, especially on the one way road loop around church and plaza, and also near to the marina and beach.

Los Gigantes cliffs are quite an awesome and spectacular sight, no matter whether seen and admired from the east (as shown) or the west (Punta de Teno). One may only prefer the latter due to more peaceful and quieter atmosphere...
