River Yarrow Water Chute

Not a waterfall by any definition other than the visual appeal, the water chute on the River Yarrow is in a beautiful setting hidden in a rocky little clough, with mossy rocks, ferns and fallen leaves.

This section of the River Yarrow is up behind The Meeting of the Waters in a steep-sided, rocky clough and although easy to access as the fencing is broken (the proper footpath leads to a stile - currently destroyed and barbed wired), there is a nice little wooded area between the two rivers and the Yarrow is found down big drop over a stone wall followed by rock. Heading upstream to the water chute is sometimes difficult, and often too muddy.

There’s an adit for the old lead mines nearby, overgrown and collapsed to a small hole, probably used as a drain into the stream. If we could move horizontally into the rock bank here we’d find the old lead mines, whose shafts we can see on the hill above.
