Hiking
A beautiful gorge where the River Teme cuts through a limestone ridge. The area is National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
It is one of the last remnants of the ancient Royal Chase of Bringewood, which once was a large part of the Welsh border region. Trees here include sessile oak, lime, ash and wych elm, whilst the ravine creates a humid microclimate, giving rise to various ferns, bryophytes, lichens and fungi.
