Fern Garden
The Victorian Fern Garden, awarded Plant Heritage National Collection status in 2022, is a magical fern-lined hanging valley with twisting paths, babbling stream and prehistoric-looking ferns. Carry on through the garden to view the Falls themselves and see the panorama of the Devon countryside at your feet.
Lower Lakes
To explore further afield, head down to the Lower Lakes for a complete contrast. These sheltered, sunny meadows are home to a series of interlocking lakes, where you can wander beside the water, over bridges and among the wildlife.
The Labyrinth
World-famous maze maker Adrian Fisher designed Canonteign’s Labyrinth. Seven paved rings have been set into the grass overlooking the Devon countryside.
