The top of the Nut




You can get to the top by driving halfway and walking the rest. The alternative is to 'buy a seat' on the chairlift. The top has a marked track and fence to keep pedestrians away from the Shearwater burrows. Also known as Mutton birds, they spend summer here and then migrate to the northern hemisphere. The walk is about 3 km - the Nut is quite an expanse. In the photos you can see that Stanley and the Nut are joined to the mainland by an isthmus.
