Path to High Paradise Farm

Highlight • Trail

Good little walk , not too hard

Tip by

This is a tranquil and majestic lake that is surrounded by lush woodland. As there are no rivers or streams flowing into the lake, it is thought to be fed by an underground spring and drained by a limestone channel. The lake is extremely popular with wild swimmers as the water is very clean, there are no currents and surprisingly warm. So, if you are hiking through the nature reserve, a quick dip could be a glorious addition to your day.

Cube-like Boulder near Gormire Lake

Highlight • Natural

A very curious and isolated boulder on the track down to Gormire Lake. Nearly, but not quite a perfect cube. It is around 8-10 feet on all sides.
