Forest waterfalls
Location
Getting there
Minimal parking, 3cars max, short forest walk. Not for anyone with mobility problems, bit of steep, mucky and slippy. Very muddy on the side of hill for getting changed, water entry point is very rocky underfoot, just a small pool for about 3 people comfortably dip. Great for photography, fresh water, gorgeous scenery.
Accessibility
Very muddy, rocky underfoot lots of rocks under the water, hard to stay upright.

Frequently asked questions
Is this river safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for current flow rate and recent rainfall. Rivers can become dangerous after heavy rain. Review community reports for hazards like weirs, strong currents, or access issues.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. River temperatures respond quickly to weather changes. In the UK, expect 5-10°C in winter and 15-20°C in summer at most locations.

A tow float, shoes with grip for slippery banks, and warm layers for after. Water shoes protect against rocks and debris on the riverbed.
