Golitha Falls is a pretty network of waterfalls and cascades along the River Fowey as it meanders through Draynes Wood on Bodmin Moor. Here, you will find craggy gorges, dramatic falls and enchanting wooded glades. The area is a designated National Nature Reserve and Site of Specific Scientific Interest. It is home to diverse wildlife and plants with 120 species of moss alone!

Hiking

The River Fowey tumbles its way down the Golitha Falls, a collection of waterfalls in Draynes Wood. It is also a haven for wildlife with salmon, sea trout, otters and bats all present. No trip to Bodmin Moor would be complete without a visit here. It is especially spectacular after heavy rain.

Hiking

I have cycled there a couple of times on an e bike. You cannot take your bike with you along the river as the path peters out. You need to take a lock with you to secure your bike in the car park at the entrance. There is a cafe there but I think they only open on certain days
