When it's flowing, Wentworth Falls is perhaps the most scenic waterfall in the Blue Mountains. Besides sharing its name with the nearby bustling township, you can see this waterfall after a short walk from the car park on the south side of town towards the cliffs. A short staircase takes you to the Princes Rock Lookout, which gives you a gorgeous direct view of the falls as well as the impressive valley framed by the Princes Rock.Note there is also a signed lookout further up the cliff that is supposedly specific for this waterfall, but the views from here are not nearly as good as what was described earlier. I reckon this view is better for expansive vistas than for the falls. You might also get a chance to hike the network of trails that descend deeper into the valley for different views of the falls as well as a chance to get up close to other smaller waterfalls cascading in the area. This trail was closed when we were there in November 2006 so we can't comment any further on this.
