Raveden Clough by munki-boy
Raveden Clough
A small wooded area along one of or perhaps the “original” Raveden Brook.
The little stream, often completely dry in the Summer, has caved down to the bedrock in many places with probably help from a few geological faults giving the area an interesting look. Woodland is mostly deciduous with a lot of leaf litter, fallen trees and ferns.
There are a couple of small waterfalls nearby but not worth the bother if you aren’t used to wet, rocky scrambles - although it’s much easier, albeit pointless when the stream is dry.
A good area for a quick dog walk, but it’s easy to join up walks to the other surrounding woodland and Smithills Hall.
