Rugged Jack, the White Lady, Castle Rock & the Devil’s Cheese Ring
Valley of the Rocks的点评
点评：The Valley of the Rocks is a rugged but beautiful U-shaped ravine formed during the Ice Age, some 120,000 - 200,000 years ago.
Starting from Lynton, we walked the 2.5km trail, along the South West Coastal Path to get here. The walk was one of the highlights of our time in Devon.
The valley is surrounded by steep cliffs and ancient, craggy rock formations.
It has an air of ancient mystery and the rock formations have enigmatic names like Rugged Jack, the Danes, the White Lady and, strangest of all, the Devil’s Cheese Ring.
Some of them are 350 - 4 million years old.
The largest formation is Castle Rock, which you can climb. There's a very steep, rocky path but I found it quite manageable and it’s relatively short. Near the top, is a large, rock natural platform with spectacular views of the coastline that make it all worthwhile.
After climbing Castle Rock, we walked through the rest of the valley, trying to identify the various rock formations.
One of the unusual things to look out for are the wild goats rock-hopping and stopping to grazing among the rocks. Apparently there have been goats here since the 11th century Domesday Book.
At the other end of the valley, we took the zig-zag path up Hollerday Hill which led us back to Lynton.
PRACTICAL TIPS:
* For those who have limited time or mobility, you can drive here.
* There’s a large paid-parking carpark. There is also a cafe and a public toilet block near the cricket pitch

翻译：岩谷（Valley of the Rocks）是一条崎岖而美丽的U形峡谷，形成于冰河时期，距今约12万至20万年前。
我们从林顿（Lynton）出发，沿着西南海岸步道（South West Coastal Path）走了2.5公里到达这里。这段徒步之旅是我们德文郡之行的一大亮点。
山谷四周环绕着陡峭的悬崖和古老嶙峋的岩层。
这里弥漫着神秘的气息，岩层的名字也颇为奇特，例如“崎岖的杰克”（Rugged Jack）、“丹麦人”（The Danes）、“白衣女士”（The White Lady），以及最奇特的“魔鬼奶酪环”（Devil’s Cheese Ring）。
其中一些岩层已有3.5亿至400万年的历史。
最大的岩层是城堡岩（Castle Rock），可以攀登。虽然有一条非常陡峭的岩石小径，但我发现它并不难走，而且路程相对较短。接近山顶时，有一个巨大的天然岩石平台，可以欣赏到壮丽的海岸线景色，绝对不虚此行。
攀登城堡岩之后，我们继续沿着山谷漫步，试图辨认各种岩石地貌。
值得一提的是，这里经常可以看到野山羊在岩石间跳跃，不时停下来吃草。据说，早在11世纪的《末日审判书》记载中，这里就生活着山羊了。
在山谷的另一端，我们沿着之字形小路登上霍勒代山，最终返回林顿。
实用贴士：
* 如果您时间有限或行动不便，可以驾车前往。
* 这里有一个大型收费停车场。板球场附近还有咖啡馆和公共厕所。
