There are some fine photos of the Glen to be enjoyed online.
Here’s one taken by Anthony Vosper, of the waterfall at the top of the Glen – from a couple of years ago, although it’s a view which can be seen at any time of year, so green and lush are the banks:

And here’s another just taken by Anthony, from earlier this month, of the ‘lawn’ section of the Glen:

It’s interesting that he calls the stream which runs through the Goyle ‘Boughmore’.
Boughmore Road is just of Bickwell Valley which then becomes Glen Road. [And here’s an illustrative Sampson property to further show its location: ‘Kings Acre’ Boughmore Road – The Sampson Society]
Indeed, there is more than one name for this brook, as covered on these pages: What’s in a name? What to call the stream running through the Glen Goyle? and What’s in a name? What to call the stream running through the Glen Goyle? Part Two…
So, we now have: the Bickwell Stream or the Wool Brook or the Boughmore Brook.
Such a small stream and so many names!
