What a beautiful place to have a picnic. The views are spectacular. There is plenty of parking and some seating areas and tables. All nicely spaced out. There are view points and information around. Quite a narrow road up to it but there is space to pass if you squeeze in close to the verge! Clean and well maintained area. Some parts of it are accessible in a wheelchair and there is accessible parking spots. Flagstaff View Point offers a captivating sight worth the journey, despite the occasional lack of mobile signal during the long drive. The breathtaking view makes it a must-visit spot. Accessible by car, with free parking. Stunning views and appreciative of the information provided at the site. While the views are stunning and it was a beautiful sunny day, I cleared up a lot of litter from the site - two bags full! It was pretty disgusting. Bins were overflowing.
