The Falls of Unich are situated about three and a half miles from the end of the public road in Glen Esk. Glen Esk is one of several glens in the county of Angus that cut deep into the Grampian Mountains. The glen is around eleven miles long to where the public road ends at a car park near to where Glen Lee and Glen Mark are formed.
A private track, which can be cycled, runs along the north side of the reservoir Loch Lee before curving north-westwards where the falls come into view. A narrow footbridge over the Water of Lee signifies the final half mile of narrow path, which can only be walked, towards the falls which are situated in an offshute of the glen in a narrow gorge between Hunt Hill and the striking 687 metre Craig Maskeldie.
The falls come down in a series of short tiers, a path precariously follows the right hand side of the falls giving excellent views, this path continues up the gorge eventually reaching the Falls of Damff about another half mile up.
