This is the pretty stepped waterfall on Forss Water. It's visible from the A836 at the Bridge of Forss but you're upstream of it so the best views are to be had down the track behind the old mill and then taking a left to reach the river downstream of the waterfall.
The old mill has been converted into apartments.
Forss House Hotel slightly downstream is a welcoming and elegant hotel set in lovely wooded gardens with access to the river.
