Imposing complex which is worth a visit.

The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

I loved it, but it was closed when I arrived, what a shame, I would have loved to walk around it.
