Thornton Force is the most famous of the waterfalls on the trail, located 1½ miles from the car park and not to be missed! Here the river falls 14 metres over limestone rocks in an impressive cascade of water. There is a viewing area which is also a suitable picnic spot.
For further information on the formation of Thornton Force and on the geology of the trail a leaflet is available to buy at the entrance kiosk (price £1.00).
