Waterfall in North Pennines National Landscape
Highlight • Waterfall
Carefully footing especially in wet conditions (the path remains boggy a long time) I also wouldn't recommend sliding down the water though it does look like it'd be fun!

Hellgill Force Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
A small waterfall, but very impressive. Here, Hell Gill Beck becomes River Eden. The waterfall is an 8m drop, but that alone sure makes good noise!

Highlight • Natural Monument
Cautley Spout waterfall is reported to have the highest drop in England at 180m. It's certainly spectacular!
