Devon Falls
A slender waterfall about 97 metres high that tumbles through the tea plantations. Viewpoints by the road and a tea room opposite offer panoramic views.
Devon Falls lies west of Talawakele, beside the A7 road. It is about 97 metres high and is named after Devon, a British planter who opened a coffee estate here in the 19th century. The water drops straight down through dense forest and tea plantations, and it carries plenty of water in the rainy season. The best views are from the roadside viewpoint and the tea room in the plantation opposite, where you can sip Ceylon black tea while watching the falls. Devon Falls is about 2 km from St. Clair's Falls, and the two are usually visited together, with 20 to 30 minutes at each. There are few roadside parking spaces, so watch out for passing traffic.
