Great place to visit on your way down to the Houn Valley. Stone work in amazing. We didn’t take a tour however the gift store was cute to browse around.

Interesting place! I did not know anything about making shots, so was interesting to see. I enjoyed the walk up and the views, but possibly not for those who don’t like heights or rickety stairs!
