The Golitha Falls near Bodmin Moor in Cornwall are a series of spectacular cascades and waterfalls along a section of the River Fowey
it makes its way through the ancient oak woodland of Draynes Wood. It is one of the best known beauty spots on Bodmin Moor. The river flows through woods and the scenery varies, from wide wooded glades to the steep sided, dramatic craggy gorge. Over the course of the falls the river descends 90 metres of fast flowing water. Golitha Falls is a National Nature Reserve (NNR) managed by English Nature and has also been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSI) on account of its woodland flora. The River Fowey is also designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB). They are a mile west of the village of St Cleer and a little further from the market town of Liskeard. As well as being a lovely walk through the woods in itself, Golitha Falls is in prime walking country. Just off the "Two Valleys Walk" which begins at nearby St Neot before passing through the valleys of the Rivers Loveny and Fowey as well as over the high moor at Berry Down.
