Attraction Information
Canonteign Falls, set in the heart of Devon's Teign Valley, is a breathtaking attraction that offers a great day out for the family. Over 80 acres of parkland to explore, with spectacular waterfalls and wonderful woodland scenery. Combine outdoor play and adventure with sightseeing in stunning surroundings.
There are 3 scenic walks to follow through wetlands and woodland, past peaceful lakes, with something to see around every corner, including the highest waterfall in England at 67m (220ft)! The Falls Nature Walk (marked in red), takes you up 90 Victorian steps, passing the Secret Garden, and the Fern Garden, and takes about an hour and 20 minutes to complete.
Grandad's Way (marked in blue) is a flat walk that is less strenuous, taking you through meadows and around the main lake. It will take you about 20 minutes and it a great introduction to the beauty of Dartmoor.
Lakeland Wildlife Walk (marked in yellow) is a 40 minute walk that takes you through a mixture of habitats that are full of wildlife to enjoy. Keep an eye out for Kingfishers, butterflies, otters, bats, wildfowl, and more.
There is so much to discover, plus a number of great family activities. Take a ride on a giant caterpillar swing, bounce on trampolines, and explore the new play galleon in the small children's play area, race each other on the children's assault course, and explore the forest garden, a perfect place for kids to learn about wildlife and conservation techniques.
The assault course is suitable for kids aged 3 and older, with loads of great features, including a zip line, clatter bridge, jungle crossing, parrot's walk, log steps and more!
You can also see giant bunnies in their purpose built hutches, black swans on their own lake, and there is also the chance to meet some bees!

Reviews
Brilliant View! 5 out of 5 stars
We all loved the hike up to the falls. It was quite steep so I would recommend very good shoes. The gardens were very magical and we had loads of fun looking for fairies in the trees. There are a loads of resting places as well. The lakes were beautiful and the cafe served great food. Toilets were nice and well kept. It was a lovely day out for all of us!
