The legendary Tongue Pot forms a long emerald pool beneath a roaring waterfall in a cleft of the River Esk, just beneath a mountain packhorse bridge. There's a long series of fantastic, clear pools but Tongue Pot is the most dramatic. Daringly high jumps are possible where the water is around 16 feet (5m) deep. Even on a cloudy day Tongue Pot is breathtaking.
