Old Brooks Waterfall by munki-boy

Old Brooks Waterfall

A nice little waterfall over a geological fault on the Limestone Brook. Little water in dry weather but often quite good.

The waterfall below the ruins of Old Brooks can be difficult to access both from the slippery stream bed and indeed, climbing down into the stream. The footpath on the east bank (itself prone to collapses) above the river affords a view though there can be a lot of foliage. Not far from the little footbridge near the ruins of the lead mine if you’re passing on the ‘better’ footpath.
