"Not far above the mouth of Clapham Cave, Clapdale becomes less richly wooded and opens on to the high ground to the north-west by means of a magnificent but contracted pass, which at its upper end becomes a mere passage between the cliffs. The southern rock towers with over-hanging face above the path to a height of seventy-two feet. The stern cheeks of the rocks are treeless, but young coppice wood decks the giddy verge on either hand." |
