What to expect

Lydford Gorge is a breathtaking natural wonder, boasting the deepest river gorge in the south west. The gorge is 1.5 miles long and features the spectacular 90 ft high White Lady waterfall and the exciting Devil’s Cauldron whirlpool. The site is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including ancient oak woodland, bluebells, wood anemone, great woodrush, and bilberry. Visitors can explore the gorge on foot along one-way trails, although the walking can be challenging with steep routes and rugged steps. The site is partly accessible, with accessible toilets, Blue Badge parking, and a bookable Tramper. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a short lead at all times.
