    Tips

    November 14, 2018

    Dropping 46 feet (14 m) over a limestone cliff, Thornton Force will take your breath away when it comes into view. Interestingly, there are several layers to the rock behind the falls and it's possible to measure over 170 million years of geological evolution within the span of one hand.

    However, if you are at Thornton Force when the weather is fine, you might be more interested in embracing the water for a refreshing dip and basking in the rocky amphitheatre where it's located. During peak times it can get busy here, so choose your moment to visit.

      Perhaps the most impressive of all the falls on the trail and really worth a visit. However, the whole trail is likely to be very busy so don't expect to be alone, and try to come midweek if you don't want to end up in traffic jams of walkers
