Hello. There is no lake. You have to complete the one-way circular walk due to COVID restrictions.

It depends which bit you want to see. They have three car parks. The one at the bottom has a cafe and toilets, but if for example you only want to see the top bit, park at the top. There's no more than a pay and display machine there though. £5 unless you're an NT member.

The entrance to the waterfall is free. And the car park is £5. Sadly I’m not too sure if there are any pubs on the way as quite remote.

Personally I would say the actual Aira Force car park itself which is coming up as CA11 0JS which is just down the road. The car park is sign posted and along the A592 jct A5091 you won’t miss it. There’s a nice tea room and free toilets at the car park. It takes about a 15 minute walk up to the waterfall and then 15 minutes back down again. There are a lot of steps but worth it! Have a great time it’s amazing.

No you could walk so far with a pram but not recommended to go up yo the falls as paths have tree roots and boulders

With being National Trust they have tried to be inclusive. However this is an area where wheel chair access is limited due to terrain etc. However still worthy of a visit.

Hiking boots for sure if you want to walk all levels :-)

Very clear and obvious paths take you on a circular walk of the falls and surrounding woodland.

only cash , which means you really need change before you go
