The river in spate after heavy rain, and it was still raining! The falls are just to my left here and were dramatic, but there was no way I was going to clamber down over slippy rocks! The Cpl filter really kicked the greens here.

 

The locally-born poet Ted Higher wrote the moving poem 'Six Young Men' after seeing a photograph of these local lads who went off to fight, and die, in WW1. There is a memorial plaque at the site.
