More about this scene
Once water cascaded over this 240ft-high limestone cliff, but now it runs underground from the Tarn before it reaches this point. The spectacular falls last flowed across the 300-yard crag at the end of the Ice Age. At the top is the isolated Tarn House, now an outdoor centre, but once the Victorian meeting place for gentlemen of stature. Charles Kingsley stayed here, and found inspiration for his novel 'The Water Babies'. A century later the film was partly made at Denton Park, near Ilkley.
