The falls are about 10 m wide and maybe 3 m high, and set beside an historic brick building that was once a powerhouse for a longlost mill. The falls are small, but the scene is picturesque; it's a regional favourite of members of our Facebook Group.
The only downside is that access to the falls is limited to a single vantage point. Fortunately, it's a good one, and easy to access at the end of a short gravel lane.
A second falls just 50 m upstream has been modified by a water level control dam. It is more of a slope cascade, with a gentler pitch than the 'main' falls. By parking on the road beside the dam, a decent view of the little falls is available.
