Jepsons Clough Waterfalls

The series of several small waterfalls in a quarried geological fault area at Jepson’s Clough are close to a road but can be a bit tricky to climb around.

The Jepson’s Clough waterfall can be inspected fairly easily from above on the East bank of the River Douglas and this is the easiest descent but care is needed as there are steep drops and the rocks can be slippery.

There is also an interesting rocky section just downstream but this is quite obscured by trees.
