About this walk

This is a very picturesque walk. There are several different routes you can take depending on what sort of walk you want to do. Dogs are allowed both on and off leads, but I keep mine on due to there being some long drops down into the waterfall and river. There is a tea room which is open most days. Parking is free but the road in is very bumpy so take it steady.

Lovely place for both two legged and four legged walkers. Great walks and the most friendly tea rooms ever. Great food and so dog friendly .

Really lovely walk with the added bonus of the Healey Dell Tea Rooms which allows dogs. I parked on Station Road, and there's a path that takes you to a pretty waterfall at/nr Healey Dell Fairies Chapel. Keep walking and you get to the impressive Viaduct rising out of the forest. The tea room is beyond that. Lots of little paths, and shallow water for the dog. I had to use my online maps as my sense of direction is terrible!
