The bench where Thomas Lipton came to survey what he had built. From 1,970 m the view runs across seven provinces on a clear morning, and the tea slopes fall away on every side. Come before eight — by nine the cloud is usually up. The walk from Dambatenne factory is 7 km uphill through pluckers' paths and is much the better way to arrive.
