Starting at the bridge over the Clare River and following purple arrows this walk takes path and woodland path up the red sandstone gorge through which the Clare River flows. It goes up the northern side nearly as far as the Clare Falls and returns along the southern side. The trail surface is in bad condition with areas of deep mud. This is a heavily wooded gorge with a series of waterfalls and rapids giving breath-taking scenery.
