Most places here are low-lying. Coolness comes from dense shade and water rather than altitude: the coolest are woods with a stream, gorges and shorelines.
Most places sit along a public path or near a car park. Entry, opening hours and whether dogs are allowed differ from place to place - worth checking before you set off.
