You can explore the gorge in a couple of different ways. You can either take the King’s Bridge Cataract walk, which was originally constructed by volunteers in the 1890s. Or, you can ride the Cataract Gorge Chairlift, built in 1972, which is the longest single span chairlift in the world (308 metres).
