Easter Weekend in Cornwall Part 4 - A Walk in Lydford Gorge

Lydford Gorge, Devon, described thus on the National Trust website: "strenuous walking, rugged terrain, vertical drops. Unsuitable for visitors with heart complaints or walking difficulties".  Luckily none of us fitted this description!

All photos taken with LX3 using 1:1 format, a combination of colour and black and white (no pinhole camera today), and all straight out of camera, no PP.

Stick Figure in Peril!

Tree trunk impaled with coins - lots and LOTS of coins

I could've used the one where Mark's pulling a sensible face,

but I decided to include this one instead :))

Mother and Son

The Devil's Cauldron

Hmmm ....

Slightly disturbing timber faces in the gorge

Spring reflections

Backlit moss-covered trees, of which there were many
