Golitha Falls

Golitha Falls refers to an area of ancient woodlands that sit alongside the river Fowey as it cascades it’s way through a steep valley gorge. The scenery here is beautiful at any time of the year, but the falls are best appreciated after a bout of rain.

From the car park, the first half-a-mile of walks are on fairly level ground and are suitable for all. If you wish to explore further down the valley, then good boots and nimble limbs are recommended.

The Falls are now managed by English Nature and although they have a ’hands-off’ approach, there is evidence of coppicing which reflect previous uses of the wood. There is also evidence of a more industrial past as there are several large stonework structures down-stream.
