Raveden Plantation Waterfall

A small waterfall on the Raveden Brook where an old weir once dammed the river.

Variable from almost no water to quite violent and with a variable amount of ochre from a mine drain just upstream, this can stain much of the rock vibrant orange/red. The waterfall is probably caused by a geological fault as is locally common, but this has been further modified to construct a weir to form a small pond in the stream.

The modern bridge is an eyesore but useful walking route.
