There are many interesting walks available in the area including the Spectacle E’e waterfalls lying in the Avon Valley at Sandford. The walk was given its name as the result of an incident involving a local man who fell in love with the miller’s daughter. The miller disapproved of the union and ended their relationship. As revenge, the man placed an eye glass in the mill’s thatch, which caused it to catch fire and the mill to be burned to the ground.
