Advantages: Plenty to see in a fairly small area Disadvantages: B****y cold in winter - fuzzy knickers required

If you are going there in winter, take some fuzzy knickers. Well, not just fuzzy knickers but thermals, thick socks, a decent anorak, and good gloves, but most of all, take LAYERS of clothing.
