Lydford Gorge, Tavistock/Okehampton, Devon, UK (4K)

This steep-sided river gorge, carved into the western edge of Dartmoor, has been drawing visitors in search of the picturesque waterfall since Victorian times. Around every corner the River Lyd plunges, tumbles, swirls and gently meanders as it travels though ancient oak woodland, abundant with wildlife.

Ledford Gorge is the deepest river gorge in the South West of England, situated not far from Okehampton and Tavistock. With waterfalls, ancient woodland and wildlife, Ledford Gorge is home to the Whitely Waterfall, a 30-metre-high cascade that flows down the cliff face into the River Lyd and the Devil's Cauldron, a large pothole in the deepest part of the gorge, with a viewing platform suspended over the river.
