Why it's Wildland

4.7

A small Fife waterfall rewards a closer look: a video of a visit describes a steep, slippery approach and views into a valley, while a local walking account places a waterfall beside the road at Dura Den, near the route towards Kemback.

This is a modest, locally distinctive waterside stop rather than a developed attraction. Its appeal is the sound and movement of falling water, with a woodland-and-valley setting; the available account also suggests the approach can be considerably more demanding than a casual stroll.
