Beautiful stream of young river Fowey runs through ancient oak woodland. First 700m wide path provides access to shallows for paddling. At top of cascades rough tracks continue 200m down to shady secret plunge pool at bottom. Swim against the current. Golden sandy bottom. Don’t slip on rocks! Car park and toilet.

Went here on saturday. Quite shady, lots of trees, but there are some exposed parts. So beautiful though. Lots of pools between small falls, good for climbing around, not too many people. The bottom can be quite sandy, with smoothed boulders. Loved it.
