Dogs are usually welcome on leads, and the woodland offers shaded spots ideal for picnics. Information boards along the route highlight local wildlife, including birds, mosses, and ferns that thrive in the damp, sheltered gorge. In spring and summer, wildflowers add colour to the riverbanks, while autumn brings rich woodland colours and quieter trails.
