Itinerary description

Trails, steps and sleepers through marshes, past mountains

Waypoints

Top of the woods

The large, solitary tree by a crumbling metal shack announces the end of the trees.

View towards Upper Lake

Valleys towards Ladies View one way and Upper Lake with deciduous woodland down the slope. Behind is the way up the hills.

Wooden path

The path over the marshy ground has been lined with sleepers

Over the crest

The sleepers protect your boots from the marsh and vice Verda. Lots of tiny orchids and marsh flowers colour the grass. The path turns to stone and weaves between pockmarked rocks. Ahead is Torc Mountain to the left.

The glen

Stone steps descend by a murky stream into a glen of small oaks

Glen

The shelter of the steep walls provides quiet and calm for the birds and a diversity of plants, flowers and trees. Birches mingle with the oaks, which leave plenty of fallen wood.
