The Walk

A woodland valley walk with a gorgeous 19th-century mill on the route.

Walk

1 From the information board at the car park, turn left to head down the hill and then an immediate right to follow the path to the picnic area by the river. Follow the path upstream, along the riverside, and into the woods.

2 Continue along the path by the river and climb a flight of steps, then you will drop back down to the river by some stepping stones.

3 You will reach Gibson Mill. When finished here, leave the mill on the main track, back in the direction of the car park. At the top of the slope, follow the path leading off to the left and up into the woods.

4 The path will take you down through a conifer plantation.

5 Follow the waymarked route back up the valley to reach Slurring Rock. Continue on past the rocks and drop down onto the route leading back to the car park.
