A stunning waterfall near Bolton Abbey in the Valley of Desolation. There are a number of waterfalls here, but this one is likely the most impressive. It is extremely picturesque, with a small pool and a stream that leads into a glen. An absolute must to see!

Hiking

Small hidden path can be slippy when dewy in the morning, is a nice little challenge and rewarding when close.
