Salmon swim upriver here in early summer and leap the falls, which you can watch from a viewing platform. The woodland has easy walks, and there is a cafe on site. A pleasant break off the road to the north coast.

Good to know

  • Best salmon viewing is June to August depending on water levels
  • Short loop walks from the car park
