Many waterfalls
I'm putting the photos from the walk down the valley in a separate post because there are a lot of them.
After entering the woods, the path descends quite steeply, cut into the valley side some way above the river.
We did this walk nearly two years ago in October 2022. Though it's summer now, there was about the same amount of water going over the falls as back then. One of the few advantages of a wettish summer is that waterfalls look more spectacular.
Everything was very green. The river looks quite tame now, but when it's in flood it can move big tree trunks like the one in this photo.
The path was a bit precarious in places. This is the path to the viewpoint where you can see the biggest waterfall.
And here it is looking splendid.
Further down there are rapids.
And then shortly below this section, you reach the main road and the church by the narrow stone bridge.
