I took the dogs here for a walk, it was a great adventure for them, with a bit of a scramble up the gorge. They loved it, and so did I!
Beautiful place for an afternoon walk, peaceful, not many people, with amazing views all over the valley from the top. We did a 4 mile walk with our little dog and it was great. Highly recommended!👌
Didn't know what to expect but the view at the end of a shortish but tougher climb/walk was worth it. My 9 and 6 year old were fine with it though with a little hand holding in places. It can be narrow, steep and footing unstable in places so it's definitely a walk for the more able. My terrier was in her happy place but dogs must be on leads. It was very dry when we did it, I'm not sure how it would be after more wet weather through the winter.
A walk for the more physically fit and experienced rambler. Not suitable for very small children or people with mobility issues. Dog friendly but must be kept on leads to protect wildlife and for their own safety. Initially the steps down into the woodland are quite steep in areas and can be slippery when wet. At the bottom you will be met by a beautiful broad leaf woodland with a small stream running trough it and lots of wild plants, ferns, berry and animals to spot. We found a wicker sculpture of a bear, but there may be more in other areas of the trails. The walk up trough the gorge is very steep and rocky, walking shoes are a must, and care should be taken as it is uneven and unstable in many places. Once at the top there is a beautiful viewing point over the gorge, making the climb up worth while. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy the view, take photos, catch your breath. (be careful as there are no barriers). The trail back to the carpark loops back down to the woods and up the other side to the carpark. At he top there is a picnic area and some benches to rest on. Also a viewing area back over to the gorge. The carpark is free with a height restriction of 7ft. Next to the car park there is another grassed area to sit and relax plus an information area telling you all about the history of the gorge. On the maps there are a few trails that are coloured, you will notice through the walk, trees are marked with colours to keep you on the right track. No toilets nearby. No place for buying refreshments so take your own. We really enjoyed this trail and will definitely revisit again. Tip: take a camera and binoculars.
Stunning walk though the woods and up the trails of the gorge. Quite difficult terrain, scrambling up a small stream in some places, so appropriate footwear and walking ability is necessary. The views from the designated cliff viewpoint are no less than stunning. The entire loop took around an hour, about 2km. Recommended!
