LYDFORD GORGE

Lydford, nr Okehampton, Devon, EX20 4BH

Managed by the National Trust, Lydford Gorge is the deepest river gorge in the South West, located on the western edge of Dartmoor, Devon. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a rare temperate rainforest habitat. Visitors can hike the rugged trails to witness spectacular natural features, including the 30-meter-high Whitelady Waterfall and the turbulent whirlpool known as the Devil's Cauldron, which is accessed via a suspended viewing platform. The gorge offers challenging circular walks (Devil's Cauldron Trail and Waterfall Trail), a second-hand bookshop, and tea-rooms at both the Devil's Cauldron and Waterfall entrances.
