Thunderous 90 ft Whitelady waterfall
'Walk the plank' over the Devil's Cauldron whirlpools

This famous gorge is 1 miles long and can be viewed from a circular walk, which starts high above the river and passes through attractive oak woods before dropping down to the dramatic 30m-high White Lady waterfall. The path then proceeds along an enchanting riverside walk through the steeply sided ravine, scooped out by the River Lyd as it plunges into a series of whirlpools, including the thrilling Devil's Cauldron.
