| Description |
Old photos from a holiday to Exeter in the year 2000 of a Waterfall. It is <a href="http://www.canonteignfalls.co.uk/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Canonteign Falls</a>. The spectacular waterfalls are the highest sheer drop in England, measuring some 220 ft (67 m). Cascading down massive rock formations into the lakes below and then on down into the River Teign, the Falls are one of the "truly magical places to see" in Devon and make a wonderful sightseeing opportunity for the whole family. Steeped in a fascinating silver mining history, the Falls were created in 1890 when the 3rd Lady Exmouth, to keep the redundant miners in Devon employed, used them to divert the water over the high outcrop of rocks thus starting the landscaping of the estate. Buzzards View During your visit to the Falls, climb the Victorian steps upwards through the Secret Garden and Fern Garden to reach the top of Lady Exmouth Falls and Buzzard’s View, offering the most spectacular view across South Devon and Dartmoor. The path down takes you through ancient woodland, and provides a great opportunity to view Clampitt Waterfalls as they plunge and drop into the valley, while taking in some of the native wildlife that lives alongside. Taking the path alongside Lily lake leading to the wetlands and lakes, is another fascinating walk, giving you the opportunity to visit wildlife in its natural habitat and spot kingfishers, bats, butterflies, wildfowl and otter. In the early 1990s the current Lord Exmouth constructed a further four lakes and here, particularly in spring and early summer, carpets of yellow buttercups and orchids adorn the grassland. |
