This waterfall is well hidden in a cop of trees. But it is best visited during a wet spell as if it has been dry you well be met with a damp cliff wall.

Arrive mid-morning on a crisp autumn day to wander the quaint village green with its medieval cross, duck pond, and bull-ring—perfect for photos of the limestone cottages without crowds. Grab a hearty pub lunch at The Bull’s Head, savoring local ales and farm-fresh dishes, then embark on the easy 2.4-mile walk to nearby Eyam (the “Plague Village”) for a dose of history amid rolling dales. Park at the edge of the village (limited spots), wear comfy shoes for the quiet lanes, and time your visit for late August if you can catch the colorful well dressings festival

The Grade II listed church was opened on 17 November 1888. The Chancel was added that 17 December, and the front vestibule was a later addition.

Pretty waterfall. Access down to the foot of it is unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Cracking stretch of road along the ridge, usually very quiet with traffic and great views on both sides. The Barrel Inn (half way along) is a pretty decent pub too.
