Highland Meander

The majority of Highland Water escaped Victorian alteration retaining it's beautiful deep cut natural meanders. Between Roman Bridge and Queen's Bower the stream forms the boundary between Brinken Wood and Great Huntley Bank and later between Brinken Wood and Camel Green, it's all relatively open ancient/veteran deciduous woodland, and the riverside walking here is the finest of it's kind in the forest. Throughout the lofty canopies of huge beech who've come down to the river to drink set dappled light dancing over the banks and murmuring flow. It's a place to breath nature in deeply.
