We ventured out to visit Wensleydale which is an area in the Yorkshire Dales National Park renowned for its famous cheese. Below are views of the surrounding area on an overcast day.
Cauldron Falls is set in woodland and gets its name from the churning plunge pool. Very dodgy underfoot with Bob acting as Sherpa and Bob the prop! The painter William Turner sketched here in the summer of 1816. Nearby was a working mill powered by a beck as it tumbled over the limestone rocks of the waterfall. It last functioned in the early twentieth century having been converted to generate the small village of West Burton in 1913. It wasn’t very efficient and autumn leaves often jammed the turbine. The National Grid arrived in 1948 and the mill fell silent. Today it is been turned into a residential property.
