At the entrance to the dramatic Gleniff Horseshoe valley, you'll find the atmospheric ruins of the old Barytes Mill. It's a wonderfully peaceful spot to stretch your legs, with a path that follows the river up to an old dam, taking about 30-60 minutes for a gentle stroll. The combination of industrial heritage being reclaimed by nature, the sound of the nearby waterfall, and the stunning mountain backdrop makes it a perfect stop for a picnic before or after you explore the rest of the scenic loop.
