Lyde Waterfall — Attraction in Great Britain

It's not the best waterfall there is, but the forest is amazing! Ok, let's be real for a moment. 2 things to consider here: 1, the waterfall is not easy to access. If it's dry, hardly any water in it, and the access to it still is a challenging hike. If it's wet season, the way to it is quite slippery, muddy, and even harder to climb/get to it... Otherwise, the fall is nice if the water runs on it, like the pictures on Google. 2, parking. I'm not sure if there is an access from the road above through dense vegetation, but if you'd like to have a not so risky parking like staying on a bridges edge, try parking by the Viaduct or on side of the road by Loamhole Dingle. From there there is 2 main way to get to the waterfall: Either going along the small stream in the creek, or heading g further up on that street until you see a large metal gate to your right. Head though that, that is a smoother access, you can push strollers and all, not like the lot of steep stairs and challenging terrain when following the creek. However you start, consider that by the last I'd say 100-200 meters, you'll have to step/crawl/climb over fallen trees, and the terrain is significantly more slippery when wet. By the actual fall, you have to climb on fallen tree logs and risky terrain. Otherwise, it's a nice hidden place. The forest going through the creek is amazing! Loads of flowers and wild garlic. It fills the air with fresh chill and aromatic elements. It's a wonderful and healthy hike, and it gets your heart pumping. I can only suggest! Beware, if you have issues with your knees, this might be a bit too much of a...

Having looked at the reviews on Google we followed the postcode on the sat nav which took us to the bridge on the main road...no waterfall in sight and no obvious car parking. With road diversions in place we thought we would try to follow people's advice to start from downstream and walk up. We just got totally lost and very muddy but did make friends with a beautiful pony on the way. Found our way back to the car and decided to do a little more reading, stumbling across Mark Haires review below and headed to the layby on the A416. We dumped the car, crossed the road and walked to the bridge finding the opening to the right as suggested. It was a very muddy decent to the stream but we got there and headed up stream to find a 1ft high waterfall. Talk about disappointed 😂 We decided to try downstream to see if we had any more luck. We crossed the stream and found we couldn't go any further. Again disappointment until we turned round to head back and there it was...right behind us! 🫣 Not easy to get to but beautiful when you there. 5 stars for the laughs and...

Enjoyed a walk from Coalmoor, down through the woodland to the waterfalls and looped back to the car on the Shropshire Way and T50 route. Was a sunny day after heavy rain which made for a wonderful experience. Sun dappled through the fading autumnal woods and the water flowing down the glacial melt carved valley and into the several waterfalls I was able to explore. There was lots of history visible along the walk, found some caves and every path led to different landscapes and varied wildlife including several deer above the main waterfall.

Its good to see that the site remains natural but the trust was given funds to tidy up and sort paths many years back and haven't done a thing since I visited 2 decades ago.

Returned again this week and added couple of pictures, still flowing well after a...
