Gorgeous Lydford Gorge!

We visited Lydford Gorge on Bank Holiday Monday on the way back up to Gloucestershire, not really knowing much about the area

The gorge walk

My sister and I were ready for a cup of tea, having spent the morning visiting another National Trust property, Glendurgan. We didn't have much time because we knew the traffic would be bad heading back up the M5 so we couldn't stop for long. We decided to just take the short walk down to the waterfall and back and we were very impressed. It was a lovely walk through a wooded glen, the sun was shining through the trees and we could hear the river babbling away further down and the sound of water splashing on rock. The walk wasn't too tiring and the waterfall is really rewarding when you reach the bottom. We agreed to come back next spring when the bluebells are out to do the full hour and a half round route.
