Charlotte Falls is a small waterfall in the hills behind Freetown, near the old Creole village of Charlotte. It is not a dramatic cataract, but the forested setting and cooler air make it a pleasant break from the city and beaches.
Go with a local driver or guide who knows the road and current access. The falls are best after rain, though paths can be slippery, and the outing pairs well with a broader drive into the peninsula hills.
