Best visited after a good rainfall. An old stone brig spans the gorge high above the deep, rocky narrows and takes its name from the furious rumbling of the River Braan below.
Queen Victoria visited this spot in 1865 and was much impressed by the dramatic watery scene. In her diary for 11th October she wrote that the flow was `most splendid` and that `swollen by rain, it came down with an immense volume of water, with a deafening noise`.
Landscape painter Sir John Millais stayed in nearby Rumbling Bridge Cottage when he worked on his well known landscape paintings "The Sound of Many Waters" (1876) and "St Martin's Summer" (1877). The River Braan was the inspiration for both these works.
