This trail meanders its way up to the magnificent beauty spot known locally as ‘Lovers Leap’, which is renowned for its stunning elevated views of the Blackwater River. At the end of this short trail, users will need to return along the same route from which they came. The trail has some steep sections and may have some rough underfoot conditions, with some obstacles such as protruding roots, rocks etc., especially after heavy rain. The route is appropriate for people with a moderate level of fitness and some walking experience. Strong footwear is recommended.
