Trail description

Lydford Gorge is the deepest river gorge in the south-west, where the River Lyd carves through woodland on the edge of Dartmoor. This loop from Lydford village follows the dramatic ravine to the Devil's Cauldron whirlpool and returns past Lydford Castle. A thrilling and beautiful circuit.
