This delightful cascade has no single big leap, but the stream tinkles and gurgles its way down dozens of beautiful rock steps and through clear pools. Handy parking and a superb path through attractive woodland make this one of the best natural sights on the island.
It won't win any records for size, height or flow but it well worth going out of your way for.
The stream flows all year, but the best time to visit is probably spring, after a spell of wet weather. Any other time can be equally rewarding, however.
Have a look at the gallery!
Coordinates are for the parking area: tree cover and the length of the best stretch makes a single waypoint for the falls pretty useless. The way to the falls is fairly obvious once you've parked. Or walk downhill from Cornaa railway station (1 minute).
