Cautley Spout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cautley Spout is widely regarded as England's highest waterfall above ground. (Gaping Gill on Ingleborough falls a greater distance into a pothole). The broken cascade of falls tumbles 580 feet (175 m) down a cliff face at the head of a wild and bleak glacial valley that comes down from the high, wild The Calf plateau. It is located in the Howgill Fells, traditionally in the West Riding of Yorkshire but now in Cumbria, on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The waterfall is just north of the small town of Sedbergh.
