Definitely worth a visit. Parking is limited, your best parking along the main village road and walking down. The waterfall is beautiful and you can see nature at its best and how it's all naturally landscaped.
You can paddle and at points it's deep enough to swim so definitely worth packing the swim stuff. The water is freezing so if you have wet suits I'd recommend putting them on. Sea shoes are also a good shout as there's lots of stones and uneven ground and some of the rocks can be slippery.
You can climb right up to the waterfall and go underneath. If you follow the stream down under the bridge there is a plunge pool with a rope swing which is great fun!
Within the village a 2 minute walk away you will find a lovely pub which is greatly priced and does lunch and dinner....

Fabulous place tucked away from...

It is located within a little village in west burton. A stunning village with a big green to sit on and relax or you can go sit outside their pub with a tall frosty one. Either way wherever you decide to plonk your tush you are sure to feel relaxed in this...
