This is a very scenic way to get up to the plateau! There are lots of waterfalls on the way up. The actual scramble starts out relatively gently but gets steeper and steeper as you progress, requiring you to use your hands in places. The rocks can get slippery at times, especially after heavy rain, so take care. We've done this both ways, coming up and going down, with our then 9 year old, who loved it.

Hiking

A nice climb. Keeping hands free is a must. Many small waterfalls. Beautiful, but be careful. The path is often no longer visible, so aim well and you will get there.

Hiking

Beautiful easy ‘get your toes wet’ Clough climb - brilliant views - saw a few people with hiking poles almost falling on the loose slate - keep your hands free people, you’re climbing not skiing!
