막스버리‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 폭포

We walked this route in June 2025 and there was so much vegetation near the waterfall and further along the route that we had to improvise the route. Otherwise it is a beautiful route with a lot of variety.

Waking in direction indicated and all the footpaths in golden valley are blocked and closed due to unsafe trees from ash die back

Stunning waterfall tumbling down a rocky cleft in the woods with pools for paddling.

Don’t park in Rose & Crown Car Park, understandably they get annoyed.

Suggest East to West as the climb the other way is very difficult to get traction on

Late spring brings extraordinary bluebell displays in this vibrant nature reserve whilst the waterfall delights hikers throughout the year. Goldilocks buttercups, anenomes and butterbur are all found here along with butterflies such as red admiral, painted lady and brimstone.

Probably best travelled East to West but possible vice versa. Hilly with roots and rocks in part but with an easier section on the Eastern section navigating around a field. I travelled West to East and had to indulge myself in a bit of hike-a-bike.

The Wick Golden Valley Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is an important and unique place. There are few reserves in South Gloucestershire with such a diverse habitat so readily accessible to the local community. The range of habitats includes the river corridor of the River Boyd, mature woodland, scrub, steep valley slopes and unimproved limestone grassland. (https://www.goldenvalley.org.uk/wildlife.htm)
