Becky Falls

A popular tourist destination in Dartmoor, England, Becky Falls, formerly known as Becka Falls, is built around a waterfall that cascades down a boulder-strewn bed from a height of about 20 meters. There is a woodland park with amenities like a children's zoo, woodland trail, and crafts in addition to the waterfall as the centerpiece.

One of the primary tributaries of the River Bovey is the Becka Brook, where the waterfall is located. The stream begins just south of Hound Tor, flows past Becky Falls, and finally reaches the Bovey right below Trendlebere Down. Two sets of waterfalls with a combined drop of about 20 meters are produced as the brook flows through the area. Before it became a popular tourist destination, the falls were known as Becka Falls, notably on Ordnance Survey maps from the 1920s through the 1940s.

If you enjoy all of that, continue on to the Purple Trail for views of the lovely lower falls on more difficult terrain. The Purple Trail is where you'll find the stunning waterfall and its dramatic 70-foot plunge at the center of the park.
