About Avich Falls
The Avich Falls are formed by the River Avich. This river flows about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from Loch Avich down a steep valley. This valley was carved out by glaciers a very long time ago. The falls are found close to the bottom of this valley.
What the Falls Look Like
While there are several smaller waterfalls along the river, the main Avich Falls is quite special. It has three different sections, or "cascades," where the water tumbles over open rocks. It's a great place to see the power and beauty of nature.
Where to Find It
The Avich Falls are located within the Inverliever Forest. This forest is part of the Barnaline estate. Inverliever Forest is important because it was one of the very first areas managed by the Forestry Commission in Scotland. The Forestry Commission is a government group that looks after forests and woodlands across the country. They help make sure forests are healthy and can be enjoyed by everyone.
