A short walk through the glen in early January this year, it was a beautiful unexpected venture, muddy but interesting, its a WLT site now with over 50 species of birds spotted there, it does not get many mentions but definitely worth a visit, the river runs slightly blue, as it meanders through Fullers earth, a little mine in years gone by, the house and mill ruins are still there, as are a considerable amount of old machinery, it ceased operation just after the first world war, this little glen was originally known as Faragher's on account of him being the miller, the little hamlet has a Eucalpytus planted in its midst by Mr Green, and the area became known as "The Green "
