Map 10 - Hermann Orchard
Rating Comments: Former hilltop orchard affords 270-degree views of the hills and mountains to the west and north, providing enough return on the investment of getting here to make it all worthwhile. Loses a star for the lack of easy access, having to race across busy Ayer Road, and the lack of practical parking. Parking along the north side of Mill Road is the only practical spot. The walk up the old access road from Ayer Road is easy and peaceful. It then climbs to the north up the edge of the former orchard. The high point would make an excellent picnic spot. Moderate.
