    3 years after the last comment the glow worms are still here. Fantastic, so bright you could see some even with the torch! But the bridges just before I haven’t seen the number 95 neither 59, rather 57 and after 249, after the second bridge where the road turn

    We stopped before the first bridge after the main road, bridge 59. Thereafter, we had to go about 400m and found the glowworms in a corner on the wall to our right. Absolutely fantastic!

    We found them! Just beautiful. Park in front of the bridge and walk a few steps to the first corner. Then you can see them directly behind the trees on the rock wall. A detour definitely worth it!

    Just wonderful. Wait dark night and contemplate the little bright blue lights that light up on the right of the road. at about 150 m after the bridge. Enjoy this moment of magic

    150m after the first bridge that takes you onto Old Mill Road we spotted hundreds of glow worms glowing a light blue. They were spread out for around 200 meters hidden behind the trees in the banks of high mud. Great sight. Got there about six thirty but had to wait for it to be completely dark before you start to see them.
