The UK is full of magical places, with endless trails to explore and admire the country’s stunning natural beauty.
From dramatic mountain roads to historic towns, every part of Britain offers something special to discover.
One road trip that truly stands out is a 100-mile adventure that takes you to an incredible 10 breathtaking waterfalls.
The Cornwall Waterfalls Road Trip winds through one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
Cornwall is famous for its spectacular coastline, charming villages and diverse landscapes, and this journey showcases the very best of it.
With more than 400 miles of coastline, Cornwall is packed with sandy beaches, hidden coves and dramatic cliffs waiting to be explored.
To experience the magic of Cornwall’s waterfalls, travellers can visit spots like St Nectan’s Glen, Golitha Falls, Rocky Valley, and Luxulyan Valley, each one offering its own unique beauty and peaceful atmosphere.
This road trip is perfect for those looking to escape the busier tourist areas and see water tumbling from clifftops straight down to the sea.
Along the way, you’ll find both woodland and coastal waterfalls, as well as one hidden inside the Rainforest Biome at the Eden Project.
The Rainforest Biome is home to one of the largest indoor rainforests in the world and is often described as an unforgettable experience.
One visitor on TripAdvisor shared their thoughts after exploring Golitha Falls, writing: “Had a lovely walk at Golitha Falls, it was a great place to take the dogs for a good off-lead run.”
They added: “We wandered up the hill, which was quite steep and a bit of a challenge, then followed the river back. The dogs loved it and were worn out by the time we got home.”
Remember - LeaveNoTrace!
As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!
Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
