Cons:

• "Not easy for anyone with mobility issues to get to the bottom but there is a top path which is wheelchair accessible."
• "Parking outside can be challenging."
• "Lots of uneven, steep steps to get right down to the water, so not for people with reduced mobility."
• "Parking is not easy either as it is the layby on the roadside."
• "Parking in the layby as the parking across the road is under construction."
• "No toilets though and the hotel across the road has shut down."
• "There are some benches inside where you can sit and chill out for a while. There are no toilet facilities."
• "Don't expect a long visit though, there's no walking or hiking. You pay at the gate and the falls are 10 steps beyond."

Accessibility

Pros:

• "There is wheelchair access to see the main waterfall which I think is amazing to be inclusive."
• "You can see the main waterfall even if you use a wheelchair."
• "£2 entry paid to a cashier. Ramp access and parking in a nearby layby for free."
• "You can see the main waterfall even if you use a wheelchair. There are about 50 steps to the lower level, but don't miss much if you don't do steps."
• "The coin machine takes all UK coins."
• "Great experience with the family. Very easy hike to the falls."
• "Very accessible being just by the roadside. Steps with hand rails, viewing platforms and seats make this a nice relaxing visit."
• "A beautiful place which has a small charge to enter, but worth seeing if in the area. There are benches if you fancy bringing a picnic."

Cons:

• "It really is good for the soul. There was a charge going through a turnstile but there's facilities to use your card."
• "This also means despite being accessible otherwise there is no access for the disabled."
• "Not recommended for disabled visitors. The site has a turnstile access system and an entrance fee of £2 per person."
• "At least during quiet periods it is unmanned turnstile only."
• "The steps down are quiet steep and uneven in places."
• "No allocated parking areas."
• "Parking in the layby is limited so recommend an early/quiet day."
• "The coin machine takes all UK coins. Though, I do think 2 pound is a little pricy for a 5 min stop."

Cost and Payment

Pros:

• "The entry fee was £2 which was reasonable considering how well maintained it was."
• "Entry fee £2. You can park on the side of the road. No allocated parking areas."
• "Visited in the week, entrance costs £2 per person and there is a turnstile entrance."
• "£2 to get in. You can park on the side of the road. No allocated parking areas."
• "Stunning. A must see. Well worth the £2 entry fee."
• "Their is a entry ticket of 2 pounds per person."
• "For a charge of £2 you get to see the waterfall from the top and the bottom."
• "The whole visit took ten minutes and you can't go back in once you go out through the gates - which made it annoying when my daughter left her torch inside!"

Cons:

• "Make sure you have some pound coins when you visit, you will need them to get through the turnstile."
• "The entry is through a very narrow revolving gate... not so great if you are on the chunkier side!"
• "£2 each dose sound at first to be expensive to see nature, but it is very well kept."
• "£2 entry for adults, £1 for children. Pay at turnstile. Also can pay via card."
• "Entry was just a few pounds per person via a turnstile. You can pass cash or contactless."
• "£2 charge per person is not worth it as it’s just a view of the waterfall."
• "£2.00 to get in. Short walk with plenty of steps."
• "£2 entry fee to see something public but well worth it."
