Brilliant little place, tucked out of the way with gorgeous views, nice little area at the bottom for playing pooh sticks or throwing stones. Stones are a little steep could be slippy but we managed it on a dry sunny day with a 4,5 and 7year old. Also in regards to parking there are limited spots you park at.
A nice little waterfall a few minutes walk from the road. Parking is a bit hit and miss as you’re just parking on the verge at the side of a single track road. Very steep to get down to the bottom of the falls and I imagine tricky if it’s been raining/wet underfoot
As its been dry weather, the waterfalls weren't as spectacular as they could be. A little bit of roadside parking if driving there, and a clear sign pointing the way. Steep path down the waterfalls, would be difficult with small children of those less able. Worth a stop if passing by.
Small wooded area hiding a lovely waterfall. Parking limited on road near entrance to the woods. Although not very well signposted, entrance is via a quirky style over the wall with a small path leading to a steep desent, which was very slippery following a heavy down pour. Winding your way down to the noise of the falls hitting the rocks at the bottom. Once down we were a little disappointed due to lack of water coming over the top. Would be a good place to visit following a period of heavy rain, although the way down would be very difficult.
We drove up to the falls where there is a little bit of roadside parking quite literally 200 yes from the falls. It was late September when we visited so very quiet as well and it's not a long walk at all about 300m from the roadside.
