Forgotten Corner
I was pleased with this find. I had a couple of hours free so went to investigate two squiggles on the OS map. I've wondered about those squiggles for literally years. They're about half an hours drive from the house and I did get close a few years ago but had 2 sleeping babies in the car with me so couldn't take a proper look. Today was the afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised to find a deep ravine cutting through a wooded hillside on the north side of The Campsies. It is set in the grounds of an old baronial house and there is evidence of an old path running up both sides of the ravine but it is now hopelessly overgrown. This pool is near the bottom and is in the middle of a series of cascades. It is still just possible to access this spot and several moss-covered ornamental stepping stones cross the outflow. I love these forgotten corners of The Campsies.
