For those wishing a short excursion in order to sample the area, this modest walk will not disappoint. The walk takes you along the Bennan Farm road where there are extensive views of the crags and hills.

As you cross the public road on to the old Pond Road notice the remains of the dam at the curling pond now planted with shimmering poplars.

The remainder of the walk takes you near the former timber mill (now a private house) by the old lade and the falls. Note the mix of trees: alder, hardwoods especially the beeches, conifers and a bamboo thicket on the island. You may see wagtails, dippers, herons and kingfishers.

This delightful ramble offers in miniature many of the sights to be enjoyed on a larger scale elsewhere and this rural tranquil scene will undoubtedly tempt the visitor back.
