Dorset waterfalls

If the sound of falling water is your thing, then you’ll love these Dorset waterfalls, from inland falls to those that spill directly onto the beach.

Compton Acres Waterfall

This waterfall is in the ornamental gardens of Compton Acres, Poole. If you go to the Wooded Valley, you’ll find several small pools and water cascading from them.

Kimmeridge Bay Waterfall

From Kimmeridge Bay, head in the direction of the Clavell Tower and this waterfall can be spotted tumbling from the cliff into the sea.

Littlebredy

Littlebredy Waterfall

In the lovely village of Littlebredy is this gem. The waterfall was featured in the TV series Broadchurch. Unfortunately from 2 June 2025, access is no longer available for the public.

Osmington Mills Waterfall

These falls are slightly harder to reach. A fairly steep path starting near the Smuggler’s Inn takes you directly down to the small but lovely falls.
