8. Waterfall

Turning around we have the bridge across the stream. The old waterfall has been replaced by the geological strata & time trail. Professor Peter Doyle from the University of Greenwich rediscovered and led the restoration of another treasure of the original park.

You can see to the right a limestone cliff face with coal and granite strata. Nearby is a reconstructed cave representing a lead mine complete with artificial stalactites and stalagmites. Can you remember which grows up and which grows down? Sadly this area is fenced off as being unsafe.
