I recently visited Canonteign Falls in Devon. Beautiful place with a playground area for kids too. This is a photo from the base of the waterfall. Sadly I didn’t have the energy to walk to the top but I suspect there are magnificent views. This inspired me to do a waterfall pinterest board with a …
