One of many streams flowing down off Bodmin Moor into the Fowey estuary.  It's lovely.  Get there early, the car park fills up.  Take your walking boots - it gets muddy.   Don't go expecting Niagara.  This is Cornwall.  The stream flows down the hill, tumbling over granite boulders.  The paths follow the contours of the hill, and we ended up quite high above the water.  A bit of a scramble down to the water's edge, managing not to trip over anything.  

Beautiful cascading water at the side of you as you walked down to the falls. You need to wear the right type of footwear as on occasion the path was flooded and you had to walk on top of the wall to avoid it. It was also slightly slippery in some parts where the roots and rocks were protruding. That said it was well laid out and a fantastic experience.

My Wife and I are in our eighties and we were delighted to find that the cascades are accessible on good paths with almost no climbing. From the parking you have a wide flat riverside track and when you reach a signpost showing walking alternatives , take the Leat track which takes you to view the waterfalls. The Leat is a "trench" path so avoid if there has been a wet spell as it will be muddy. The woodland scenery combined with the river is absolutely lovely. We took about 50 mins total walking slowly.

We visited the Golitha Falls on a Friday late afternoon in May during a weeklong visit to Cornwall. We had learnt of the falls whilst researching things to do in Cornwall on the internet. We drove here and there is a very large (free) car park with public toilets associated with, we understood, the adjacent ‘Inkie’s Smokehouse’ restaurant. The falls are a series of cascades or small waterfalls rather than a high drop as the River Fowey flows off of Bodmin Moor towards the sea. However, the walk through the woodland with the sound of the water flowing over the rocks and stones punctuated by birdsong we thought was worth the visit. The falls are about a half mile walk from the car park and the woodland earthen paths may become slippery after rainfall. Basically, head for the sound of running water and when you find it follow it along. There are information boards dotted about which are worth reading. At the time of our visit the woodland was fairly quiet, with a few dog walkers and another group of people enjoying the walk. Following the wet spring we have had, the falls were flowing quite fast giving us the opportunity to get some nice pictures and videos. The distance you go will depend on your agility as the river enters a rocky valley and following the water becomes problematic, we thought that there was a higher drop just beyond the point where we stopped. However, in the easily accessible part of the falls there is enough to see and experience up to this point. Certainly, worth a visit if you wish to commune with nature, especially if like us you go at a quiet time.

Great easy family walk. Well mapped at the start with a choice of options to walk along. It’s signposted to have dogs on leads but every other group we came across with dogs had theirs off the lead this is frustrating as our lab is much better behaved off lead but due to signage felt we had to keep her on. The water is very fast flowing (at this time of year!) so it was helpful to not have her trying to jump in. It is such a pretty area. A great car park. Great view points. Topped off with having Inkies Smokehouse in the vicinity for some food at the end of the walk.

Lovely pla e to visit for a couple of hours. Free parking and free toilets. We would recommend getting there early to get a parking space. A restaurant serving drinks and meals. We had two cups of teas and two Red neck ( three thick slices of bacon in a big seeded bun. Very filling and nice, the downside was We had to wait 25 minutes for it but it was lovely, Summertime they would be busier! We walked to the falls and was worth the 30minutes slow walk exploring. Breathtaking. Go right to the bottom where the rocks are. Loads of variety of wildlife to be seen too. It can be precarious if taking a pushchair but see how you go, rocks and tree roots as you . We would recommend this place

Had a lovely walk at Golitha falls, it was a great place to take the dogs for a really good off lead run. It was very busy but it’s August and I think all of Cornwall is busy this time of year. We rambled up the hill which can be quite steep and a bit of a challenge and then came back along the river. The dogs loved it and were super tired when we got them back to where we’re staying.
