Yarker Falls is an interesting little waterfall just downstream from the road bridge in Yarker. Unfortunately, it is only visible from the bridge due to being surrounded by private property. As you would be looking downstream, you can't really get a good full picture.
There is no way to get a 'proper' photo of this falls, and this is why it has been downgraded a single star, despite its moderate size, with a fall of more than 5 m. If this could be explored freely, it might rate 3 stars.
There was once a nice tea room that overlooked the falls, but apparently this has been repurposed to a different business.
Parking in the village is very challenging, as the roads are old and narrow. The driving directions lead to a dead-end street, and I believe that on-street parking is avilable here. Please heed any signs, and don't be tempted to trespass to see the falls. Remember, this website does not give you permission to trespass.
