The waterfall is nestled within a dense forest, adding to its enchanting appeal. It is formed by the steady flow of the Archy Burn, a small river that cascades down a series of rocky steps, creating a mesmerizing sight and a gentle, soothing sound. The falls are characterized by their graceful yet powerful descent, as water tumbles over moss-covered rocks, creating small pools and rapids along the way.

Overall, Archy's Linn is a hidden gem in Northumberland, offering a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Waymark for the Alternative Pennine Way The marker indicates a public footpath, and also the logo of the Alternative Pennine Way. The APW is a strictly unofficial long distance walk from Ashbourne to Jedburgh, the subject of a Cicerone Guide published in 1992. It avoids much of the higher, boggier parts of the Pennine Way proper, but is little known and little walked. This and the one seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5248386">NY7273 : Waymark in Wark Forest</a> are the only waymarks for the APW that I have ever seen.
