Algar Waterfalls Experience

Declared a Protected Wetland Area, Algar Waterfalls cascades through huge rocks, hills and valleys. The winding walkways take visitors ever higher and offer welcoming picnic spots along the way. There are a mix of deep and shallow rock pools to cool off in. Even in the summer months the water is icy cold so bringing a towel is advisable. The paths and walkways get pretty steep in places, so visitors should wear a good pair of trainers or hiking boots.

If you don’t fancy the expense of a restaurant meal, visitors are welcome to bring along a packed lunch. Just be courteous and keep your rubbish with you until you come across a dustbin. Algar Waterfalls and the surrounding hills abound with many species of flora & fauna. This makes the area popular with nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
