Waterfalls on Dean Black Brook at White Coppice by munki-boy
White Coppice Waterfalls
The waterfalls at White Coppice are very variable in the amount of water, from gentle stream to raging torrent. The setting is beautiful regardless and the area is a favoured departure point for hikers and easy to visit for families.
The waterfalls are in a ravine that is naturally rocky but has been modified over two-hundred years ago by quarrying and stone-lined channel with sluices. The stream at that time flowed across an aquaduct over The Goit before passing on through White Coppice to feed the local reservoirs. Remains of the old sluices can still be seen.
The stone channel that the stream flows through is dangerously deep at the lower section and is perilously so further up. Be careful. The ravine is an easy gorge-walk for the experienced gorge-walker.
