Steeped in a fascinating silver mining history, the 3rd Lady Exmouth created these falls in 1890 to keep the redundant miners in Devon employed using them to divert the water over the high outcrop of rocks thus starting the landscaping of the estate. They are the highest sheer drop in England measuring some 220 ft cascading down massive rock formations into the lakes below and on to the River Teign.
