Walk 1
Walk 1 Popular (4.1 miles) | Time:1h 40 mins |
Follow the famous Hunters' Path and return at Fingle Bridge via a riverside path, Fisherman's Path. Note:this public path is rocky in parts and can be quite slippery. A hundred years ago Black wrote 'Thus one mounts to the Hunter's Path along the top of the gorge, on this side heather clad and crowned with firs, while the other is mantled with the copsewood of Whyddon Park...The windings of the river make a fine sight from the upper path, on which comes a reputed logan - stone. After following this for a mile one comes into sight of the lonely bridge' Has anything changed?Download KML (follow walk on Google Earth) |
