May 2021:

Culvert After Recent Rainfall (21st May)
(Pics courtesy of Chris Lockwood and Webmaster)
...................

Vegetation washed down- apparently  from ABOVE waterfall.
[Locals recall that this type of accumulation contributed to a previous blockage of the culvert and subsequent flooding.  Although much vegetation has been cleared from the culvert, it appears that  the area above the waterfall may need attention.]

Waterfall  Many Years Ago:



Waterfall Now:

Whilst still an attractive site, many locals have suggested that
it would be better if the trees and branches (some dead) were cut back,
 to reveal a better view of the waterfalll itself.

 Waterfall and Upper Culvert - 10th August Update.

No sign of DOI yet, but we are assured that attention to the upper part of the culvert
(crumbling walls on Quarry side, etc., )  is definitely on their agenda.

In the meantime, the overhanging branches referred to above have been removed
and the little picnic area tidied up and planted with wild flowers
 by local volunteers.

(Along with a nice new table, courtesy of Garff Commissioners - much appreciated!)

EARLIER NOTES:

27th Oct 2020:

River observed after heavy rainfall

(To be fair to DOI predictions, the flow appears to be well attenuated behind the rocks, which was apparently the intention.  It remains to be seen whether the river level will increase in flood conditions. One hopes not..)
