Cascade des Anglais

Cascade des Anglais is a series of waterfalls and natural pools on the Agnone River in the Vizzavona forest, near the Col de Vizzavona in Corsica. Forest paths follow the river to rocky pools where you can cool off in clear, cold water; some are deep enough for a dip. On a sunny day, the wooded setting and sound of the falls make a peaceful break. The route from the Acrobranche park is the easier option. Expect more people here in summer.

Waterfalls and pools in the Vizzavona forest

Cascade des Anglais is a group of small waterfalls and natural pools on the Agnone River in the Vizzavona forest. The river runs through woodland, with paths and cascades along the way. The pools are a place to cool off during a walk; the water is cold, and some pools are deep enough for bathing.

The falls lie near Col de Vizzavona, where other paths lead into the surrounding wooded mountains. In winter, snowy periods can transform the area and trail. Summer brings more people to the cascades.

Choosing a route

There is more than one way to reach the falls. The approach from the Acrobranche park is described as the easier route. Another path passes Fort de Vaux and is rockier and more demanding. From the fort, follow the path around its front and continue east through the forest; the route descends before reaching a boulder-covered slope, then returns to woodland. It joins the waterfall system partway up, where some pools can be quieter.

Good shoes are useful on the rocky ground. If you want to bathe, be ready for cold water, and take care around the rocks and pools.
