Sections of the gorge have been cleared of shrub and undergrowth and goats employed to keep the slopes grazed. They're an ancient breed of goat, it is believed they were probably first brought to Britain by Neolithic farmers 6000 years ago. Rough and ready, they don't mind heights, this mother and kid are perched only about a meter from a 200 meter drop. They roam freely and are essentially feral. It's nice to see.
