unrated)About Near to Nature
Get off the beaten track on this adventurous short walk. Experience the wonder of brushing through the trees, heighten your senses, touching and feeling the forest at your fingertips. Master the steep stone steps as you twist and turn alongside the gorge and pause on the bridges to admire the river from above.
Along the way you will see features such as a willow arch, a birch wall and four wooden bridges with oak leaf carvings.
You can stop and enjoy the views down the gorge at various points from our stone resting points.
The trail includes some steep flights of steps.
