Tips

May 31, 2023

Hiking

Beautiful spot for a dip or a paddle. Years of water flowing here has carved a river through into the rocky landscape, leaving a perfect spot for paddling/soaking tired feet! Not deep enough for swimming. Off the path.

Hiking

A lovely section of the River Kent with lots of white water, some quite narrow sections where the river as cut through the rocks and a few pebble beaches which are ideal places for a picnic.
