This spectacular site was formed 12,000 years ago when postglacial meltwater eroded the sandstone bedrock, resulting in a steep-sided and timbered gorge. The unique geological formations and spring-fed stream are part of a high-quality corridor that supports outstanding biodiversity. An experience like no other, it’s a tour you won’t want to miss out on!
