There are very pleasant walks, some gentle, some stiff. The woods are thick and full of life and the waterfalls are picturesque. At £27 for a family ticket it's way overpriced. It seems they're are small discounts to be had through leaflets but we missed them. Probably worth a visit if you're going to make the most of all the... More

Wonderful day here. Oh wow...the waterfall is truely breathtaking, we liked that there was a variety of walks and challenged ourselves to do the purple trail..Brilliant fun! Lots to do, but still has plenty of natural charm, a little gem in the heart of dartmoor.

We had a lovely day at Becky Falls! The blue trail is a lovely walk, and the children loved collecting the stamps. The red and purple walks are harder, but worth it as the views of the fall are spectacular-definately photo opportunity time. Staff were helpful and polite, and the kids loved being able to help feed the animals, and... More

Spectacular; great photo chances. Sturdy footwear essential can be slippery especially when wet. Not suitable for those with walking difficulties

Thanks for taking the time to review our attraction. We agree, there are lots of sights to see on Dartmoor for free, but ours isn't one of them. We charge an entrance fee and this is used to maintain our attraction, pay our staff, pay our rates and running costs, feed and house our animals, pay our vet's bills, etc,... More

We drove to Becky Falls through the spectacular countryside with high hopes for a day out. Upon arrival we were immediately charged for entry without even being given the time to park up and see how much entry was. (don't really think this is necessary). On the way in there were also a couple of signs forcefully saying that you... More

Having been to Becky Falls myself as a child and teenager for free, I was surprised and disappointed to be faced with an entrance fee of £20+ for a family of four. There is now much more on offer but at the heart of the experience is the unique woodland and waterfalls - the animals (which appear far from indigenous... More

Nice place for an afternoon stroll but as it's on Dartmoor there are plenty of other lovely riverside walks nearby for FREE.

A morning trip to becky falls turned into a five hour encounter with all that is wild. Great adventures and some awesome encounters with creepy crawleys and slippery ten foot boa's. Lots of furry cuddly creatures too. Good value for money and a day of our holiday well spent, Thanks for the wonderful memories.
