Sometimes it's as much about the journey as the waterfalls themselves, and this was an epic walk on Skye, from Sligachan up along the Allt Dearg Mor, around the foothills of The Cuillin, and across to Glenbrittle (passing the Fairy Pools along the way too). It rained all day and I was grateful for wearing all the right gear!! An awesome day, with awesome falls all the way.
For fans of waterfalls Iceland is a great trip and Gljúfrabúi, despite being one of the smaller ones we visited, was my clear favourite. It's reached by wading a little stream that makes its' way through a gap in the cliffs before opening out into a small cavern. Here you can stand and look up as the waterfall flows down onto you - a magical experience.
There's something about Aira Force that I've always loved. It's easy to get to (great for introducing newbies to the area), the location itself is wonderful (Ullswater is possibly my favourite lake), but I particularly love the bridges that give this place such a great combo of man-made and natural to give such amazing views up and down the falls.
