Rocky Valley

At their highest point the slate canyon walls tower over seventy feet above the river below.

Rocky Valley was mentioned in travel books as a place of exceptional beauty as early as 1897.

[3] In 2007 some of the bridges over the Trevillet River were washed away during flash floods caused by heavy rains.

[4] Trevillet Mill is now a private residence and was made famous by an 1851 painting by Thomas Creswick.

Modern scholars believe that, as the labyrinths were carved on a quarried wall with a metal tool, they are likely to be less than three hundred years old.
