The highest man-made waterfall in England is located at Canonteign Falls in Devon. This spectacular feature, known as "Lady Exmouth Falls," was created in 1890 as a Victorian "folly" and drops approximately 70 meters (220 feet). It was built by directing water from the local stream over the edge of a natural rock face to create a dramatic aesthetic effect for the estate's owners. Today, it is part of a popular tourist attraction that includes 90 acres of ancient woodland and wetlands. Visitors can hike to the top of the falls via a series of steep steps to enjoy panoramic views of the Teign Valley. While there are higher natural waterfalls in Northern England, Canonteign remains the undisputed record-holder for a man-made construction, showcasing the grand scale of Victorian landscape engineering.
