The track now leads up to a steep stile beside a large wooden gate. Go through this and then, with the lovely wooded Gill beside you, continue on along the wide but stony track soon to see, thrusting boldly out on the left, the huge dark outline of the Gill's legendary "Wishing Tree". Centuries old, its guardian spirit traditionally promised to grant a wish to all who made their way "deiseal", or clockwise, three times through the huge twisted arch of knotted roots around its base - but be sure not to go "widdershins", or anti-clockwise, for it is said bad luck will surely befall those who do!
