The main waterfall tumbles 45 feet down the cliff edge, with a second waterfall falling from 29 feet. The chine is lit with illuminations at dusk daily. A ticket includes 7 days of free unlimited returns. Dogs are welcome on leads. The site also has a café, antiques shop, souvenir shop, and the Fisherman's Cottage.
