Distance:

Time:

Difficulty:
Easy
Terrain:

Terrain: A delightful and short woodland trail. Paths are predominantly natural earth and rocky sections, with numerous exposed tree roots. The walk involves a gentle but continuous ascent through the woods to reach the waterfall. Expect paths to be muddy and uneven, especially after rain or in wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable, and waterproof walking boots with good grip are essential for both you and your dog, as rocks and steps near the falls can be slippery.

Accessibility: Due to the steepness of some sections, the presence of many exposed tree roots and rocks, and the potential for mud, this walk is not suitable for those with significant mobility issues or pushchairs.
