Now I had a decision to make. I could either go straight on and try to walk home, or I could turn left and walk down to Rockwood Hall and try to get a ride home from there. Since I had been walking for some time, and my legs ached and my feet hurt, I chose the Rockwood Hall option.

At first you continue walking through woodland.

But after a short walk you emerge from the woods to see some impressive views of the River Hudson.

There’s an interesting article on Rockwood Hall here.
