Description

Start : Contin car park, Grid Ref. NH459561

(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the road, walk right down under the wooden arch towards the toilets. Follow the path going up the hill on the right side of the toilets. Walk down the hill. On your way, you can hear the road on your right-hand side. You passed a bench on your way down. When you see some stairs, go straight left down the stairs.

There is a view above the falls from here with an information board. From the viewpoint, walk up the stairs again and go right towards the second set of stairs with a wooden handrail then straight again with a wooden handrail right up stairs again.

(1) At the next junction, keep left, and at the second one turn right towards the suspension bridge. You can cross the bridge, walk down the stairs and walk on the boardwalk to get another perspective of the falls. Then cross the bridge again at its end, walk up and at the junction seek on your right for the observatory.

Walk past the information board to find a single track with the water on your right-hand side. On the way, you can spot some views of the waterfall while walking at the riverside. At some stage, the single track goes up into the woods with back to the riverside. Be careful here, the terrain has roots and stones.

At the next junction keep left and keep walking on the obvious path as it is going down and up the hill until you see a bench.

(2) At the junction, turn right in front of the bench. Carry on walking in the same direction back to the car park. On the way you will pass another bench. (S/E)
