Lovely Plant Life at the Black Glen in Downhill Demesne
From the cliffs of Downhill Demesne, we started walking through a wooded area which isn’t really that far from the cliffs. There was a path which dots the estate. This is actually a very good way to see the rest of the estate. The path here brings us to the Black Glen. The path here is lined with different kinds of vegetation, most of which I don’t recognize. Parts of the path can be uneven so it pays to watch your step. Some parts of the path also lead to other places, if you have time it may be worth visiting these other places.
Shaded Walk at the Black Glen in Downhill Demesne
There is a map which guides visitors through these parts but sometimes it gets confusing since the map itself is not really that detailed or not drawn to scale. Regardless, I loved the walk as it is a pleasant change from what we were seeing. The glen doesn’t feel artificial since the plants seem to be allowed to grow all over the place. But you would be surprised to see some parts where the grass is neatly trimmed.
