Cascades des Anglais
Vizzavona, France
A series of small falls and clear pools on the Agnone, reached by an easy path through the Vizzavona pine forest. It is part of the GR20; the car park is off the T20 below the pass.
The Cascades des Anglais lie on the Agnone mountain stream in the Vizzavona forest, known for its Corsican pines. Vizzavona is regarded as the midpoint of the GR20 long-distance trail. The Agnone forms numerous small cascades and clear pools; the water stays very cold even in summer. According to one source, swimming is not expressly forbidden; follow any notices on site and avoid wearing sun cream in the water.
From the car park at the Col de Vizzavona (about 1,160 m), the round trip is under 3 km according to the sources, and you reach the first falls in about 20 minutes. From Vizzavona station (906 m), allow roughly 6.6 km and 2 hours 40 minutes with about 264 m of ascent. According to one source, the Bastia–Ajaccio line serves the station twice a day (as of October 2026). Rocks near the falls can be slippery. Allow one to three hours. Lonely Planet describes the path as short, gentle and well signed; it leads through forest to several falls with shallow pools and is very popular with families on day trips.
