Hiking

More of a sheep trail, this sketchy path is high up along the top edge of the Dale. In the Summer you will need to push through 6ft high ferns in places. Great views of Lathkill Dale, but a little perilous & sketchy, a serious Hiking alternative to following the Lathkill River in the valley below.

This felt unsafe in places and VERY close to a long, steep fall. We did it in Nov.
