Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

England's highest single-drop waterfall, a 30-metre plunge into a wooded amphitheatre reached by a short easy path through the grounds of the Green Dragon Inn. Access is via the inn's heritage centre for a small admission charge, and well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome all the way to the fall, then in the pub's ancient flagstoned bar afterwards. Film buffs will recognise it from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

THE SMALL PRINTLeads throughout, and access is by paid admission through the Green Dragon’s heritage centre.
