Blake Clough Waterfall

Quite a spectacular waterfall here seen from the lane up to the top Wessenden Reservoir near Marden. The Pennine Way runs just above this. The rocky pool at the bottom is known as a place where one can take a 'skinny dip!' Of course this scene is probably much better than it would normally be, after weeks of torrential rainfall here. The height here, I would estimate 50-100ft (15-30m)

Thanks Maurice. Maybe, maybe not -it is somewhat hidden and even this high view, is easily missed as explained in my replies above. Hikers following the Pennine Way would also completely miss this from above and then it would be behind them, so even though a lot of walkers around here - even on our walk here in February -not a lot of photographing me thinks.

Hi Toz, well worth a visit for you. We parked on the reservoir lane just before the first reservoir (Butterley) There is a bit of a layby there where people can park easily. Copy these coods into GE: 53°35'35.27" N 1°55'39.86" W
The lane is called Wassenden Road. If you parked at the station you would have quite a bit more walking added on.- Glad you liked it. Regards, Herb
