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

A trickling stream falls into a pool of water below, creating a lovely waterfall scene as you pass through the quaint village of North Stoke.

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

Lovely spot where a small brook tumbles steeply through Mannings Wood. The woodland is very atmospheric; lots of vines, fallen trees, and little foot bridges over the water. As aforementioned, very muddy in wet weather.

View up a few rocks

Lovely little waterfall in the woods. Can get muddy if there's been a lot of rainfall.

Between 1892-1970 this landscape was a hotbed of industry. Ochre, a natural clay earth pigment, was quarried and refined here. These days, the once-industrial landscape has been reclaimed by nature, albeit with some telltale signs of its past, and is now a haven for wildlife. Keep a lookout for birds, including kestrels, kingfishers, goshawks, and greenfinches. Frogs, toads, and grass snakes can also be observed, as well as foxes, squirrels, badgers, rabbits, water voles and many more. There is also a herd of goats in the reserve.
