The Waterfall Collector

What is it about waterfalls that fascinate us? After all, it's just water flowing over rocks. Why do we feel compelled to visit them over and over again. They are all unique, each one is different. Why do we find them enchanting, romantic and even mysterious? These photos are a few of my favourites. More will be added, as and when I take them. Suggestions for more to visit will be most welcome.

Hell Gill Force

Hell Gill Force in Mallerstang accommodates water taken from the High Seat range of hills in the north west of the Yorkshire Dales. The waterfall is actually in Cumbria. The waterfall is often visited by walkers exploring the hills around Wild Boar Fell and can easily be reached by path. As it is also close to the road motorists can easily visit by walking just 250 metres. The waterfall is a single drop fall of approximately 8 metres (25 feet).
