St Nectans Glen

One of my favourite places in the UK. Always a treasure to visit. Its a long walk from the carpark, with the most scenic route (bring water for the walk up, and trainers), but with the right car and enough notice, last time we rang in advance and they gave us permission to park up the top for our disabled mum. Theres limited spaces but they were as accommodating as they possibly could be. The staff are always so friendly, plenty of trinkets, views, relatively cheap yummy food, with decent portions. A great day out to clear the mind.

The waterfalls (and the walk to them) are very beautiful. Certainly worth the 1 mile walk to get there. Some steep hills up and down, but nothing too strenuous. Now the bad part - the "owner" of the waterfall have really (in my own personal opinion) ruined the experience. They've built a ticket building on top of the falls that you must pass through, so take the stairs up, then down to the falls, then back up to exit, then back down to leave the area. The whole setting is also very "woo woo" if you know the phrase. Religious statues everywhere. And "please respect the sacred nature by putting your phones in airplane mode." I mean, really. It's just a (very beautiful) waterfall. This place needs to be owned by National Trust or someone who can do a better job of providing a rich experience. If I could have just parked, walked/hiked 1 mile, then sat an enjoyed the amazingly beautiful falls, I would have given it 5 stars. As it is now, here's a reluctant 2.

Well worth a visit. Lovely walk through a wooded valley along side a stream. At the end of the walk is a love cafe and gift shop as well as other attractions. From there is a walk to the waterfall. There is a charge to see this of £10 per person, but you really have to see it and it is a splendid site. In all, well worth a visit.
