The Fairy Steps, Shank Wood
The secluded River Lyne pathway cuts deep into a Sandstone gorge.
A cavern in the rocky bank of the River Lyne, about a mile from Shank Castle, is pointed out as the spot where the fairies used to dwell; and in the river, opposite the cavern, is a mass of rock with a flat top, on which they are said to have performed their nightly dance. This is the Fairies' Table, and another large heather-covered rock is known as the Fairies' Castle.
