After all the rain we'd had, I wanted to see Linton Falls near Grassington. When I went last summer, the Wharfe was merely a trickle but after rain it's a gushing torrent - noisy and exhilarating.
The lower falls (above), where the footbridge crosses, tumble over natural shelves in the rock, below a weir. There used to be a mill there, and the bridge made it easy for the mill workers to walk down from the village to work. The upper falls cascade over another weir, and there's a hydro-electric plant there.
Wow, that's sure rushing water. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite fierce.
ReplyDeleteQuite a rush!
ReplyDeleteI love that third picture with the little tree!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see so much water. (I thought I commented on this, but don't see it. Oh well.) Maybe I didn't, just thought it.
