wild river

Follow the narrow, twisty lane that winds past our garden through the pixie woodlands, up an enchanted valley and along a bubbling brook.

Since we moved here 8 months ago, we've been wondering if there are any good swimming holes on the river.

Today we found one!

After a 20 minute scramble off the path, across the bank and under some fallen trees, we followed the stream to a big waterfall with a perfect plunge pool underneath.

Just one problem: the only way in is a leap off a big rock. And the only way out is over the next waterfall.

This is going to take some planning ...
