Hiking

The surrounding forrest has now been cut down (spring 2025). No longer an enchanted place it used to be. Path leading to it from the Turnpike trail is badly damaged by forest operations and the whole area is a one big wasteland of scarred soil, tree stumps and branch debris

Hiking

Could be tricky to find if you’re not looking. Follow the path to the south side of the burn and the ruin will come into sight.

Follow the path to the south side of the stream and the ruin / waterfall will come into sight.
