Gordale Scar Upper Waterfall
Gordale Scar Upper Waterfall is in The Yorkshire Dales National Park in England.
The excellent upper waterfall at Gordale Scar emerges from a rock arch that is formed from a collapsed cave. The watefall looks a bit weird because at the same time as eroding the limestone into this massive gorge, the water is depositing calcite as it falls forming the large column of rock just behind the water.
It is possible to climb round to look out through the arch but be careful!
