Full Force!
On the River Tees near Middleton in Teesdale, this is Britain's biggest waterfall [per volume of flow] and has a 21 metre drop into a deep plunge pool. The water has eroded the hard Whin Sill rock through a Sandstone layer to a lower level of Limestone. Not quite on Icelandic scales but the words Force and Foss are derived from the Norse words for a waterfall.
