A wonderful surprise tucked away at the end of a woodland walk.
Just a short distance from the cottage this place is a real treat indeed!
It’s not obvious where the trail begins, so here’s a pin. There is a layby nearby that you can park the car in. Or you can walk from the cottage, crossing the village cemetary.
The trail starts with a stretch of track framed by tall trees. Continue following the track until you reach the sign for Lady Falls and then head in the direction the sign points.
You’ll cross a swampy area. There are boards and metal sheeting laid down to make the walk easier. Follow these and be prepared to be enveloped by the massive ferns.
You’ll walk alongside fencing to a private estate for a while. If you’re lucky you'll spot some deer. You’ll almost certainly hear them.
After about 30 minutes you'll come out of the woodland and onto a rocky track cut into the side of a valley. The views here are wonderful. Keep following the track and sound of the river. You won’t believe it’s there and be wonderfully surprised when it happens upon you!
