With a vertical drop of 70 feet (21 m), Mallyan Spout is the tallest waterfall in the North York Moors. When you arrive at the waterfall, prepare to have your breath taken – the epic site has captivated visitors since Victorian times. The path to the waterfall can be technical in places, so sturdy shoes are recommended.

Can be very slippery on the rocks. Can be quickly reached from Mallyon Spout hotel by a path.
