Women's Hike to Devil's Hole & Nellie's Glen // Sunday 8th November

About

As you embark on this trail, it feels like stepping into a lost world. The surroundings transform into a wild expanse where the path winds through fallen boulders, dense ferns, and towering cliff walls. A boulder wedged between the canyon walls adds to this atmospheric setting.

Meeting with your WWA guide, you'll begin the walk anticlockwise, descending through Nellie’s Glen. While the descent involves navigating plenty of stairs, the experience is thoroughly enjoyable. The trail then leads along a section of the Six Foot Track before ascending through the Devil’s Hole – a route that promises a steeper, and sometimes slippery path (yet incredible section!).

Throughout the hike, take in breathtaking views from the top of the valley at both ends of the walk. As you traverse through Nellie’s Glen, soak in the serenity of the picturesque creek environment, adding to the charm of this trail.

Please note: Conditions along the trail can vary, from muddy and rocky terrain to sections that require scrambling and may be slippery.
