The Waterfalls of St Nectan’s Glen

The Main Waterfall & Kieve

At the heart of St Nectan’s Glen lies its most iconic feature—the main waterfall, where water cascades 60 feet through a naturally formed hole in the rock, plunging into the deep basin known as the Kieve. The raw power and serenity of this waterfall make it a breath taking sight, drawing visitors into a moment of awe and reflection.

The Secret Waterfall

Discovered during the creation of our  circular walkway, this hidden gem remained untouched before revealing itself as a tranquil cascade flowing through the woodland. Its secluded setting and gentle flow create a perfect space for quiet contemplation, offering a new perspective on the magic of the Glen.

The Tumbling Waterfall

Near the river crossing, a smaller, tumbling waterfall dances over the moss-covered rocks, adding a dynamic, playful energy to the landscape. It is a natural focal point along the path, inviting visitors to pause and experience the soothing sights and sounds of flowing water.
