Devon Falls: The Veil of the Valley
Easy · Nuwara Eliya District · Central Province
Devon Falls, nicknamed the "Veil of the Valley", drops 97 m in three tiers about 6 km west of Talawakele. It is named after Devon, an English coffee planter whose estate lay nearby.
Что вас ждёт
The falls are seen from the A7 highway, at about 1,140 m above sea level, on a tributary of the Kotmale Oya. Paired with St. Clair's Falls a few kilometres away, it makes an easy hill-country stop by road or rail. We have not found a reliable description of a path to the base.
Watch for traffic at the roadside viewpoint.
