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
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
