St Nectan's Kieve, Waterfall and plunge pool in Tintagel, England.
The River Trevillet descends through a 60-foot waterfall, flowing through a natural rock arch before falling into a 12-foot deep limestone basin.
The name first appeared in records in 1799 as Nathan's Cave, referring to either Nathan Williams or Nathan Cock alongside the Cornish word Cuva.
Visitors place ribbons, crystals, and stones near the waterfall as offerings, following local traditions that consider this location spiritually meaningful.
The woodland path leading to the waterfall extends one mile, with admission prices of £9.00 for adults and £5.00 for children aged 5-15.
The water carves through Late Devonian slate, creating multiple basins along the rock walls before reaching the main plunge pool below.
