We enjoyed our walk through the woods and we started with the short walk to the falls and followed this with a longer circular walk which started opposite the care park.

Go there in October to see the salmon leaping up the falls, fantastic sight.The cafe was shut on a cold rainy day, not sure if its seasonal or down to covid, but didn't spoil the sights, and be prepared to be patient.

Fantastic place to go & watch the salmon leaping on their way back to the spawning ground. Breathtaking to be so close to nature. There is a large carpark & plenty of information boards before you walk down to the viewing place. People with restricted mobility may find it difficult to get down to the viewing platform.
