Beautiful place for a relatively easy stroll through the woods. Lots to see with waterfalls and very tall trees. There is a car park on site which was £3 for the day. A little coffee shack in the car park was selling hot drinks and doughnuts. The walk we did took around 2 hours with stops to admire the view. You could spend much longer exploring the forest. Very popular with dog walkers.

#myhiddengems beautiful place, lovely walk down river with stunning views, great chippy but a bit pricey
