Mouse Falls
Three hundred metres upstream
from Fulwood Bridge there's a fine
viewpoint where log seats provide
an idyllic rest site. It overlooks a
series of small waterfalls where
the Mouse Water surges through
the rocks. The more acid soils
hereabouts lead to a localised
woodland of oak and birch, with
blaeberry and heather beneath.
Elsewhere, the woodland is more
typically made up of ash, oak, dog's
mercury, wild garlic and woodrush.
