Hollow Brook Waterfall (or 'Hollowbrook Waterfall') is a tall, elegant waterfall on the north coast of Devon, dropping the waters of the Hollow Brook down the cliff here. It is found just north of Martinhoe: the brook ruises just by Martinhoe and flows through the village northward before reaching the seacliff.
The fall can be seen from the South West Coast Path, which drops to the sea due north of the village.
The Hollow Brook Waterfall is claimed to be "the Westcountry's highest coastal waterfall, and one of the highest in Britain", dropping 690 feet in a series of falls including two of 164 feet, over 1,312 feet in horizontal distance.[1][2]
