Lydford gorge - another mega blog warning ; )

aw stevie that is just so beautiful, those waterfalls are fabulous, well i love it all really. ferns, moss, streams......

why do they put gates across the bridges???

if i had gone on that walk i might not have come back ~ its so lovely.

Excellent walk shame its too far away for us .

Many thanks for sharing your walk felt was walking with you.

well! im worn out after coming on that virtual walk with you, i really do need a cuppa now! i love those hugging trees too, glad you took a pic of them, it looks like you walked miles!:-)) bet you're shattered...

I've faved it as well - and the link you gave.

Such a beautiful walk, must be really soul-satisfying. How long a walk was it?

Sticki i guess hey want to cut people off if they get in for free when its closed, however if you tried to climb around you would probably slip n fall!!!!

JD shattered shattered loading all thos pics on ; ) i'm having a cuppa too

Fran yes it's quite a long way round so a long morning or afternoon but probably best to take your time, have a break halfway, was there a few hours. It was quite a long walk all the way round

well i dont want that to happen to me!!!!!!

Lovely walk, Stevie. Enjoyed your company.

absolute gorgeous setting - and it looks peaceful - and great for some bird spotting , love to walk around the woods , sadly a bit scared to go alone these days

Stevie I am stumped......brilliant blog, i could almost hear the birds tweeting.
I think the gates are there to show who owned which side of the land, once upon a time, maybe the water divided the ownership!

Thanks for that bit of exercise , Stevie , mentally refreshed now , too .
Added to faves .

Wow, I'm out of breath here, that's taken me all afternoon and what a lovely walk it has been, really enjoyed it Stevie and your company too....could almost hear those waterfalls as we walked by...just stunning and the great photos too.....another walk soon please....:))

Absolutely fabulous Stevie.

Just my sort of place - I could almost hear the water rippling along. Thank you very much for a lovely walk, and I'm not even tired!

Wow.. couldn't have done that walk without you and so glad we had a break half way round as my knee replacement was wondering what was happening. Thank you for the company, great photos and added to my favourites. :-)

I wonder how many people go round there and disniss it as "just some trees and stuff"? qiuet beauty that doesn't shout and hold up signs saying "look at me" takes the right kind of mind to appreciate it - lol lucky GoY is full of those!

this gives me a whole new groundplan for my personal forest when I win the lottery ...

You should have called this blog....''Paradise''
Just stunning! THanks for showing us your walk..I'm out of breath now..yes you took my breath away!
Reminds me of one of my favourite places up here called the Hermitage. Lovely Stevie :))))))) ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

I agree with you pixi, took my breath away too.

:))

you must have taken more pics than these, Stevie - any chance of a YouTube slideshow? *s* not sure what music would go with so idylllic a scene!

oh, if only GoY had its own YouTube channel!

The Pastoral Symphony?

Lovely walk - thanks! But make mine a cheese toasty next time. ;o)

Well.....during the time it took for my computer to finished uploading these (wonderful, evocative) photos, I went downstairs made a sarnie (ryvita with stilton & chutney!)and a cuppa!
Love those bridges, the light, the water. What Jazz, Pru me and Sluggy would have given to be there too!
Fabbo Stevie, great pics.

Thanx folks
I now have a couple more to put on Lulu so you'll have to go downstairs again ; )

Glass of wine this time!
Can't work out which photos are new....................Concentrate dammit!

HANG ON its getting there WAIT!!!!!! ; )

actually sorry going to take a bit of time, will put them on tomorrow soz

Stevie you are a master of suspence!

It looks a nice place for a walk. I love how the trees are all coming into leaf, giving that dappled shade :o)

Ok folks, have added a couple of pics of the last bit, enjoy

(lulu hasn't clicked like, get my little book out ; 0)

ooooh naughty lulu, no more chutney for you lulu!!!

that extra mile is well worth it! so beautiful, loved those delicate flowers and the stream under the rocks, its just perfect.

and the sound of rushing water is lovely!!!

there are a few options of stream sounds on here

[River 6 is quite nice]

magic, Sticki! whizzed that site straight into my faves. I can see myself spending a lot of time exploring the sounds

the wonders of networking!!

☺☻☺✿☺☻☺

Stevie, this page takes ages to load!!!! Love the extra photos.

Does this blog get the award for the most photos? If not it should get an award for the greenest walk with the most waterfalls.

Think gold medal for the greenest Sticki!

Do we have a catagory for walks??? might be nice to have that.

Sticki ask TT. I agree.

oh I dont think there is as many as my mega Aberglasney blog.
maybe I should have done a 2 parter and let you all have a rest for a couple of days half way ; )

You nearly did that, finale was held back a day!

Also I enjoyed that break (details of which I am not allowed to speak of) in the middle.

if there were Oscars for blogs, this'd win in several categories! stunning. Thanks, Stevie, must have taken ages to upload

Wanna go, wanna go see all that!

Oh, and I clicked the like button (although it took ages to scroll to!)

Thanks, ok wheres my little book ...lulu..cross out ; ) actually yep thats it if its too long people get too tired!

lol it's in my faves as well

well it made me want to go to lydford ~ i think you should ask for some commission from them??

are we going to the oscars too!!!

Lets....make a plan...B & B? walkies?

When is your birthday lulu?

And when is the best time to go to Lydford?

please select your toastie,
Cheese
Tomato
Tuna
You can suggest a combo of two but when i tried this it seemed as if i were a visitor from outer space, so i opted for tuna and asked for mayo which indeed arrived (with very little mayo).
You know sometimes I am sorely tempted to arrive with a chuck of a loaf and ingredients and say can you put all this into a toasty for say £1 then I can garantee i'll not only GET some filling BUT indeed it will be actually quite generous, or how about just asking 'excuse me but do you have an electric socket I can use' ; )
and then lead at it with my OWN pre prepared bulging toastie and sandwich toaster hahahahaha

So long as you don't have to do the washing up?

Um tuna definitely and maybe with tomato please, but I really like Mayo - is that too much to ask?

Tuna AND tomatoe Sticki, ok well as long as you are ok dressing up as an alien

hmmm ok fairplay, flask and some paper plates

I have to dress up?? Hmmm alien, think I might like some of those super efficient springy metal feet so I can run fast.

July!
Mines a bacon sarnie please!

Oh I like those too!

With brie? And crusty bread?

On no... poor waistline!

ok, hold the brie?? [you do not need to worry!! only me]

who said Brie was available??, what you from outta space or somink?

oh, no brie anyway???

ok tell you what i will have cheese and Stevie's chutney please!!!

Cheese not brie!!

yes cheese!!!

no not outer space ~ another planet??

Its all been a huge cover up, the moon IS made of cheese

Well if that's the case, I wouldn't mind going there! Should I take some chutney?

Wallace and Gromit proved it years ago

That's excellent Stevie, such lovely views, love the waterfalls...

Thanks SL

Lovely pics. Thanks for sharing. Have made a note as we may be heading that way if I manage to get a week off work soon :D

Well its a nice place to spend a few hours, enjoy : )

lol Stevie, you ought to approach them for commission! it's on my list of "one-day" too

No problem HB, was lucky just to have the perfect spring day
