Worlds End
This is one of the Boston Harbor Islands although it is not technically a island, rather, a peninsula.
The 244-acre peninsula shares many of the features found on the harbor islands. Overlooking Hingham Bay, it is formed by two drumlins and has rocky beaches, ledges, cliffs, patches of salt marsh and an area of freshwater marsh.
Many of the features noted 19th-century landscape architect's, Frederick Law Olmsted's plan for the grounds remain, including gravel paths, formal tree plantings and hedgerows bordering old farm fields. In addition, Worlds End offers trails for nature study, cross-country skiing, and, by permission, horseback riding.
Toilet facilities are available. A fee is charged, which includes parking (space limited).
Here are a couple of links:

Heh, yeah... After thinking about it I decided I should probably just try to plan for the emerald necklace hike next week and take it easy this week.

Hi Lelia, it's probably a little late for me to be thinking about this :), but what are the plans for tomorrow at Worlds End... Is it primarily a photo-taking event, or hiking or biking? I'm considering going, but hurt my foot a week ago and am trying to asses how much walking will be involved :).
