Almost an hour walk from car park located on the four fall track!!

Must wear hiking boots!!

Avoid rainy day as the stairs get very wet and slippery!!

Round circle to all 4 waterfalls is around 5-6 miles and with steep stairs!!

Car park charges are £5 for full day

We saw this waterfall as part of the Four Waterfalls walk. It is a relatively well kept trail with beautiful views and moderate climbs/descents on the way.
This waterfall is particularly special as it’s a falling thunderous curtain of water you can walk behind which is an official foot path (part of walking trail).
Remember that there are no toilets available on the walk so make sure you use the facilities at the car park before you go.
There were a few people taking the brave step of dipping in for a swim but the water didn’t look very clean so that was a little discouraging!

A place really worth visiting.
A beautiful walk to the waterfall, 170ish steps down but fantastic when you get there.
When we went, lots of people there but easy to focus on the beauty etc.
Highly recommend and would like to visit after rain.

Very much worth seeing. Since we discovered the four waterfalls something like 15 years ago we just keep coming back when someone visits us and the circumstances allow it. There is plenty of walks for different conditions - short, long - see all waterfalls or just 2 of them. Really worth seeing and going from the main four waterfalls car park but you can shorten the walks when going from other car parks. Really recommended for a bit of cleaning yourself amongst the beauty of the forest. Well recommend and will be going back many times I am sure👍

One of the Must visit place
This waterfall is absolutely beautiful. I and my family inculde my 5 years old daughter walked the trail to see the four waterfalls and we were really enjoyed.
There are steep steps to each one so bear that in mind as they can be hard work going back up but it isn't too long.
We walked around the edge of the waterfall with ease and had a lovely experience behind the curtain of the water. Such a great one to tick off the list.

Lovely walk, takes about 2 hours to get around the loop and see the waterfalls.
Was quite slippery because of leaves, definitely needs walking boots and waterproofs if you want to go behind the waterfall!
Red route is fair flat but the green route to get to the waterfalls are very steep.
Car park is £5 card parent at the machine which is great.

Lush easy walks for the family (if you struggle with steps, though may not be a good idea as there's quite a lot leading back up) scenery was beautiful and the paths are clean and tidy, plenty of rest stops and view points, great for doggies too. Lush

Do not miss the opportunity to visit this spectacular waterfall! The path through it is spacious and offers and exhilarating view from behind the water.

The steps down and back up probably only take half the time the signs suggest but are still a bit strenuous. The surrounding scenery also frames the fall well though there is limited space to stop and relax at the base.
