Point 7

You can take a detour here by choosing the lower path rather than the main upper one. Both end up at the bridge where you cross to the other side, but beware! The lower path can be quite muddy if the weather has been wet!

Upstream from the bridge is one of the most scenic views in the Glen. You can see how the stream has eroded the soft sandstone to form a deep gorge. This started when the meltwater from a melting ice sheet rushed down here at the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago.

As you move on over the bridge and walk on, you’ll see the remains of a quarry on your left.
