Ingleton waterfalls trail: Thornton Force

The third waterfall encountered on this incredible trail: Thornton Force is arguably the most spectacular of the waterfalls seen on the impressive Waterfalls Walk at Ingleton in the Yorkshire Dales.

This is a textbook case of geological unconformity, the river plunging over a cliff of horizontal strata Great Scar Limestone which overlays much older Ordovician Ingleton slates, and is a direct result of the Craven Fault which dominates the scenery of the western dales.

Hi Pam. Yes a wonderful place of freedom and fresh air. A wish that so many people would like at the moment but cannot have such things. But, it will come back soon.

Keep healthy. Herb

I know that you would have enjoyed this walk armed especially with your tripod and ND filters. Not quite as spectacular as NZ but eh - it is getting there!

Cheers and keep good. Herb

Good that you enjoyed these George. Yet more to come from this day's outings (I am afraid).

Waterfalls are something I have never attempted. Not that I know for many! Very difficult to get right, by some of the efforts I have seen, but these three are superb. Well done!
Take care, Rosa.

Once you have taken one, they are simple to take. Only if you want to add the 'silk' effect does it get more difficult sometimes, needing then a tripod for the slower speeds. Delighted that you enjoyed these. In fact I more yet to post! Hope its not over-kill.

Best wishes, Herb
