Waterfalls

This week we present some of the loveliest waterfalls in Britain.

Waterfall Country, Powys

Waterfall Country is an area of over a dozen waterfalls between Pontneddfechan and Ystradfellte in the southwestern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. 



Aysgarth Falls - a delight in the Yorkshire Dales

Aysgarth Falls are a well-known scenic attraction in Lower Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. They are a triple flight of waterfalls carved out by the River Ure. This spot has been admired for its beauty for centuries. The broad limestone steps across which the water cascades are particularly pleasing to the eye.



Mealt Falls - tumbling into the sea

There is something very "fantasy world" about waterfalls that fall straight off the edge of the world. But they do exist, and Britain's most charismatic example is Mealt Falls on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.



Devil's Bridge, Wales

The village of Devil's Bridge, 10 miles inland from Aberystwyth in Wales, is named after a distinctive structure which spans the River Mynach here. Three bridges, stacked one above the other, straddle the ravine, and there are no other bridges built like this in the world.



Britain's highest waterfall

Eas a Chual Aluinn Waterfall, Britain's highest waterfall, is said to be over three times higher than Niagara Falls when in full flow. So why is it not better known?



High Force - spectacular waterfall in County Durham

One of the most spectacular waterfalls in England, located at Forest-in-Teesdale, County Durham.
