A hidden gem painted by Turner: the falls tumble into a rock pool just two minutes' walk behind West Burton's village green, with free honesty-box parking. Dogs are welcome, and the walk can be extended up the Walden valley on field paths, but this is active farmland with sheep and sometimes cattle, so keep dogs under close control; several stiles and squeeze gates can defeat larger dogs. The dog-friendly Fox and Hounds sits on the green for afterwards.
