Lugard Road

What people say, in short
Most visitors recommend Lugard Road, a loop around the Peak where several visitors praise the views and a couple of visitors call the path flat or mostly level. A few visitors find it quieter and less touristy, a couple more say it is manageable with a stroller or on crutches, and two others point to sunrise and photo spots. One visitor says the lookout alone is enough, without scrambling up the rock face behind it, while another warns that climbing there carries risk. One visitor watching the fireworks from here says smoke hid the early bursts, though later ones were visible.
