Ancient monument consisting of a cascade of industrial mill ruins. This is a lovely spot to stop and take a look around. Some mega waterfalls and ruins to check out.

Beautiful spot, currently access to the actual waterfall & mill ruins is NOT permitted at weekends & Bank Holidays. The area is fenced off and owned by the Arkwright Society who are preserving it
