After a hot and dusty session at Golfie, this is a great place to strip down and plunge into the fresh Leithen Water! Take care on the slippery concrete and wade down into the waist-deep water over the edge of the cascade.

There's a couple of rough parking spaces here too, so if you're travelling to this spot to ride you can always start and finish here.
