Waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales

Do you have a favourite waterfall? We should almost be grateful to the rain, since it makes them so spectacular... Here are a few waterfalls you may already love? Which others do you like to visit?

- Stainforth Foss/Force: a picturesque waterfall where Atlantic salmon gather each Autumn and leap the falls on their way upstream to spawn

- Janet’s Foss: a small and pretty waterfall near Malham

- Ingleton waterfalls: a trail takes in a series of lovely waterfalls

- Catrigg Force: a hidden gem located in a small wooded copse one mile upstream from Stainforth village.

- Force Gill Waterfall: an often overlooked beautiful 6 metre waterfall just a short detour from the Three Peaks route between Ribblehead Viaduct and Whernside.

- Aysgarth Falls and Cotter Force in Wensleydale both of which can be seen using easy access footpaths.

- Hardraw Force: the longest single drop waterfall in England: pay at the Green Dragon pub

- Cautley Spout in the Howgills close to the Cross Keys temperance pub (pub with no beer!)

- Linton and West Burton falls

Would love to know which waterfalls you love for their power, which are your favourite tranquil spots, which are the hidden ones, perhaps that only appear after very wet weather, which ones are your preferred swimming spots, or ones for nature watching?
