Golitha Falls - Photos of Cornwall by CWWPhotography

Golitha Falls Gallery

Here you can see a selection of photographs taken at the enchanting setting of Golitha Falls in Cornwall. Pronounced 'Goleetha', Golitha Falls is an area of woodland occupying a steep sided valley gorge, with the River Fowey flowing through it in a series of spectacular cascades and waterfalls. Golitha Falls is situated on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, the reserve consists of mainly Oak Ash and Beech trees which line the river and is an even more attractive setting during the colourful season of Autumn. The word 'Golitha' derives from the Cornish word for obstruction.

Seasons

Summer - During the summer at Golitha Falls, the trees and river bank are a lush green and with less rainfall than at other times of the year more rocks are visible giving the river a more rugged look.

Autumn - Perhaps the best time to visit Golitha Falls, with still a bit of the greenery around from the summer but with the ever increasing colours of reds and browns of the leaves as they fall from the trees and the green of the gathering moss on the rocks lining the river bank.

Winter - With more frequent rainfall, the flowing River Fowey expands through Golitha Falls submerging rocks previously visible in the drier periods of the year. The last of the autumn leaves giving the forest floor a colourful carpet of reds and browns, the almost bare trees lining the river bank and the exposed rocks covered in a thick green moss.
