Description

From the end of The Quarterdeck there is a short grassy walk over a small park to the viewing spot, which has a seat. You can also access The Lookout (sorry, not a very original name but it is the official one) from the end of Meridian Way, Gybe Place, and The Topdeck. There are good concrete paths joining these streets.

If you follow the path to Gybe Place there is a seat and memorial sign for The Brandon Estate which used to be on this site.

If you exit at Gybe Place or The Topdeck, follow the road round to The Crowsnest and up to the Crows Nest Lookout.
