Stunning waterfall and nice small bridge, and to think you are stepping where the Brontë sisters once did is a great place to reflect

A little slippy in places, especially in winter when black ice covers much of the path, but very beautiful

A very quaint small stone bridge on the Brontë Trail. A flash flood in May 1989, swept the bridge away. In March 1990, a Lynx helicopter from No. 9 Regiment Army Air Corps, airlifted five gritstone slabs into the narrow valley to allow park rangers to repair the crossing.
