The Glen Woodland and Stream

Highlight • Waterfall

Lovely stretch of woodland with a little waterfall and pond/dam. Drops down to a reservoir. There was an alternative route that skirted the edge of the woods on a track which seems popular with mountain bikers.

A ford, but with a small waterfall on its side - unusual, and nice, impressive sound! Be careful on the stones, though... don't want to slip down there!

take the downhill path to the left of the main trail and cross a small bridge. Approx 100 along is a descent to the right on a rocky path which brings you to the waterfall

Ensure this is on your trail when you walk around the Abbey.

Small hidden path can be slippy when dewy in the morning, is a nice little challenge and rewarding when close.
