点评:The locals go out of their way to stop people seeing this, which I think backfires given the state of the track and the appalling rubbish strewn everywhere.
If you’re lucky enough, grab a parking spot at the junction of the A809 and the B834 but ignore the people heading across the field - this strands you on the wrong side of the gorge and you will need to come back.
Instead walk down the busy A809, or, cross the field parallel to the road until you cross the bridge, then enter the woods and follow the multiple unofficial muddy paths. Any of them will get you there, the one alongside the farm fence is the most direct, but those closest to the gorge will give you decent pictures.
Around 100 metres in you’ll find a staircase that’s in pretty bad shape. Large parts of it have collapsed and there’s no rope or handrail. It’s a short climb to the bottom and from here you are deep in the gorge with wonderful sights all around.
If you want to see the Devil’s Pulpit then you’ll need to turn left, and scramble through water, or across rocks and trees for a few more metres, but even if you can’t manage this, just getting to the bottom of the stairs gives you a wonderful experience. In the wet this could be extremely treacherous, but on a hot day the path wasn’t too slippery.

如果你足够幸运,可以在A809和B834的交界处找个停车位,但不要理会那些正穿过田野的人——这样你就走错了峡谷,不得不折返。
你可以选择沿着繁忙的A809公路步行,或者穿过与公路平行的田野,直到过桥,然后进入树林,沿着多条非官方修建的泥泞小路前行。任何一条小路都可以到达那里,农场围栏旁边的那条最直接,但靠近峡谷的那条路也能拍出不错的照片。
大约100米后,你会发现一段状况相当糟糕的楼梯。它的大部分已经坍塌,没有绳索或扶手。爬到谷底只需一小段路,从这里你就能深入峡谷,欣赏周围的美景。
如果你想看到魔鬼讲坛,你需要左转,然后穿过水面,或者穿过岩石和树木,再走几米。即使你做不到这一点,只要走到楼梯底部,就能获得绝佳的体验。雨天走这条路可能非常危险,但在炎热的天气里,这条路不会太滑。
