#Note for Walkers
People who visit the Ravensdale area for recreation are asked not to bring dogs (even on a lead) onto the hills, to close gates, respect property and to minimise the impact of their activities on
farmer's livelihoods. The presence of a dog, even on a lead, can be distressing to sheep.
