In the valley below Great Elm, a charming bridge crosses the Mells River, with a bench on the riverbank offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the views or take a refreshing dip. A layby on one side of the river provides convenient parking if you'd like to start your journey here.

In the valley below Great Elm there is a little bridge crossing over the Mells River. On the bank of the river is a bench which is a perfect stop either to enjoy the scenery or take a little dip. On one side of the river is a layby for cars to park if you want to start your journey here. There are also public bins here so no excuse to #leavenotrace and keep the countryside litter-free.
