Cataract Gorge. This is a beautiful natural wonder literally located a 15 minute walk from town, of course you can also drive there in about 2 minutes. This park offers superb views of the South Esk River from the cliff face, or a chairlift. Those looking for outdoor adventures can abseil in the park and climb the Gorge. The park is split into 2 by the river. On the southern side there is a natural swimming pool and a cafe. On the northern side, which is accessed by a chairlift, there is the most amazing Victorian gardens, complete with peacocks strutting around, a rotunda, and a restaurant and cafe.
