Hiking
Execute caution when viewing these falls, which are four times higher than Niagara Falls, from the top.
Story taken from 'The Sutherland Trail' by Cameron McNeish and Richard Else: 'Walk a little way to grassy terraces that offer better views of the tresses of the falls themselves, but be careful. Some years ago a woman fell to her death here. Her husband, an insurance broker who had just doubled the value of her life policy, was tried for her murder but the case was found not proven'.

Hiking
There is no easy place to park at the bottom of the cliffs, but parking up near the lock is possible. The waterfall can be seen from above or below. From below a rough track can be followed from the roadside to lead into the pools below.

Hiking
Path on top can be very soggy (rather a marsh), so make sure to have adequate footwear. Same goes for the path from top to bottom, better to use the road when wet. Path at the bottom of the falls is better but it's scrambling and can be slippery too.
But the view is worth it, beautiful waterfall.
