Land Of Waterfalls

Today's walk is in some newly found woods. Very lucky with the weather, early morning fog, burned away by some lovely sunshine. Very quiet in these woods, except for the waterfalls and Birds, a Woodcock spotted early on. I've called this place "Land Of The Waterfallls" although walking deeper up into the woods, it does feel like the "Land Time Forgot!" There are some really old parts, as shown in this photo. 
Which gives it quite a spooky, but atmospheric feel. Just love the green vibrant colour of the moss, awesome smell of "woodlands" too. There's a fairly steep climb to the top. Accompanied all the while by small waterfalls and brooks, so the background sound is just amazing. The largest waterfall being this one. 
This is about 7-8 ft high, and off it runs a small stream full of frogs/toads spawn. Can't wait to see if can spot any tadpoles later on. The "Hairy Lads" absolutely love it here, plenty of places to explore, and always a source of fresh water! 

It's amazing how nature eventually takes things over, love how the moss has made this old discarded tractor tyre, actually something quite lovely, and an art form to look at!! 
I shall definitely be returning here again, and I don't think the lads will complain. This is my first walk blog, so not sure how much detail to put in, or leave out!! Please let me know your thoughts, and what you like to see in future walks.
