Approaching Peak Lush
On our circuit hike around Levens Hall Deer Park, the halfway point was marked with a visit to Force Falls. I have been here once before, walking all the way from Kendal; this is the part of the River Kent that narrows considerably through a series of overhanging limestone shelves and drops. I’ve never been here though when everything was looking so lush and vibrant! I stopped on the bridge across the river for some compositions of this impressive gorge, Lisabet meanwhile had snapped an impressive photo of a Heron intensely watching the falls for fish.
