    Tips

    Hiking

    The steps and stones around Fairy glen are. eey slippy and if you're planning on climbing to the middle of the river it's better doing it bare foot

    Hiking

    A beautiful gorge, accessible via a short hike from the landowners' parking lot. The fee is £1 per person plus £1 for parking. You can drop your money into a box, and upon our arrival, an elderly lady with crutches appeared and offered change.
    The gorge is truly worth seeing. Even if you continue hiking along the river, you'll discover wonderful places to linger.
