{photographs on this page} ‘’In my view this is the best waterfalls walk in Great Britain. Having walked to many of the fabulous waterfalls in Northern England including High Force in Teesdale, the Ingleton waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales and the best of the Lake District and also some iconic Scotland ones such as Eas a Chual Aluinn, Falls of Glomach and Grey Mare's Tail I can speak with some experience.. ‘’ {quote from the above website}

After walking this so many times myself, including jumping in the river in the summer, I totally agree – THESE WATERFALLS ARE NOT TO BE MISSED
