Waterfall Type

Locator, not a GPX track. The sketch marks this water. How-to-get-there names the usual village, car park or bus — then use the terrain map for real public paths. Gorges and hill tarns need proper footwear and an OS map.

Terrain map

Zoom in for footpaths and contours. The marker is the water, not a line of approach.
