About The devil's Pulpit

The name “the Devil’s Pulpit” originally referred to the mushroom-shaped rock that sometimes pokes above the rushing stream. Some say the rock is where the Devil stood to address his followers, the crimson current swirling at his feet. Others say Druids held secret meetings there, hidden from sight within the shadows of the gorge’s looming walls. It's a Beautiful location with greenery every where. The climb down into the gorge is a bit steep slippery wet and proper footwear is advised.
