If you are looking for stunning forest scenery, then this is the place for you. At some points it can only be described as enchanted, and your hard work walking around the rocky gorges will pay off as you stumble across secluded forest clearings, stunning lakes and beautiful waterfalls cascading through the rocks. The boardwalk is 100 years old but has been reconstructed so that it is safe to walk on and provides a fantastic walk with breath-taking views.

As well as walking, this is a great place for families to enjoy – children can run around and burn off energy, and you can bring a picnic and even enjoy riding horseback through the forest.
