Aira Force
Aira Force (I’m so tempted to just called this the Air Force Waterfall) was an attractive 20m waterfall (though it seemed a bit taller than that) that tumbled over several tiers between a pair…
Taylor Gill Force
The Taylor Gill Force Waterfall was said to be the tallest waterfall in the Lakes District. It was said to have a 140ft drop, which made me wonder whether they were talking about a particular…
Stock Ghyll Force
Stock Ghyll Force was a small but attractive segmented and multi-tiered 60ft waterfall that kind of reminded me of a smaller scale version of Sol Duc Falls in the Olympic Rainforests of Washington…
Gaping Gill
The Gaping Gill was the name of a large and well known cavern or pothole (depends on how you look at it) deep in the moors at the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Typically, the name…
Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (Thornton Force, First Pecca Falls, Twin Pecca Falls, Holly Bush Spout, Beezley Falls, Triple Spout, Rival Falls, Baxenghyll Gorge, Snow Falls)
The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail was probably one of the more publicized waterfall excursions that we’ve done for our UK trip. The entire 4.5-mile loop trail, which took us almost four hours to do…
Aysgarth Falls
Aysgarth Falls was actually a series of three main waterfalls, which the signs referred to them as Upper, Middle, and Lower. Rather than being dramatic drops over a cliff, these waterfalls…
Hardraw Force
Hardraw Force was an impressive classic plunge-type waterfall that contrasted from the neighboring Aysgarth Falls in many ways. For starters, this was a singular waterfall with a satisfying 30m…
Cautley Spout
Cautley Spout was said to possess the tallest cumulative height for a waterfall above ground in England at a reported 198m (30m Hardraw Force was said to have the tallest unbroken singular…
High Force
High Force impressed us with its gushing flow as it plunged 21m into a wide but turbulent plunge pool thanks to the River Tees flowing in full spate from all the unsettled weather that the area had…
Great Falls of the Potomac River
The Great Falls of the Potomac River was the waterfalling excuse for Julie, Tahia, and I to explore the vicinity of our Nation’s Capital – Washington DC. We made it a point to drive the nearly…
Passaic Falls (Paterson Great Falls)
Passaic Falls (also known as the Paterson Great Falls) was perhaps the most unusually-situated waterfall we could recall given that it was smack in the middle of a lot of urban developments that…
Watkins Glen Waterfalls
The Watkins Glen Waterfalls were merely the excuse for me to visit the Watkins Glen itself, which was said to be the most scenic of all the glens in the Finger Lakes region of Western New York…
Webster’s Falls
Websters Falls (or Webster’s Falls) could very well be the city of Hamilton’s most famous and most visited waterfall. And as you can see from the photo at the top of this page, it was totally…
Felker’s Falls
Felkers Falls (or Felker’s Falls) was seemingly one of the more obscure waterfalls in the Hamilton area even though it was situated in a neighborhood of suburban developments. It was literally…
Tews Falls
Tews Falls was a very attractive plunge waterfall dropping about 41m (said to be the tallest in Southern Ontario besides Niagara Falls). Although we’ve seen in the literature that this waterfall…
Borer’s Falls
Borer’s Falls was the last waterfall that we visited before spending our final days in Canada in Toronto during our October 2013 visit to the waterfall-laced Hamilton region. My experience with…
DeCew Falls
DeCew Falls was a waterfall where we had quite a bit of trouble finding a way to get a good look at it. The photo you see at the top of this page came from inside the Morningstar Mill, which…
Albion Falls
Albion Falls was probably one of the prettiest (if not THE prettiest) waterfalls we encountered while waterfalling in and around the City of Hamilton. Ever since someone contributed a photo of…
Balls Falls
Our Balls Falls waterfalling experience could very well have been one of the most unusual and circumstantial experiences that we could remember. After having read the literature in preparation…
Devil’s Punchbowl Falls
Devils Punchbowl Falls (or simply Devil’s Punchbowl) was probably the lone disappointing experience we had of the six waterfalls we visited in the Hamilton area during our October 2013 trip…
