Description

Thornton force waterfall at Ingleton Waterfalls walk Ingleton Yorkshire dales national park North Yorkshire England UK GB Europe


Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a well-known circular trail beginning and ending in the village of Ingleton in the English county of North Yorkshire, now maintained by the Ingleton Scenery Company. It is claimed that the trail, some 8 kilometres (5 mi) long, and with a vertical rise of 169 m (554 feet) has some of the most spectacular waterfall and woodland scenery in the north of England
Thornton Force is one of the most popular waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales and the finest of the many waterfalls seen on the Ingleton Waterfalls Walk. Dropping 46ft over a limestone cliff, Thornton Force is a stunning sight when it bursts in to view.
Situated in an open air rocky ampitheatre Thornton Force is more than just an impressive waterfall. It is partly formed from rocks over 300 million years old. Indeed there are number of layers to the rock behind the falls and it is possible, within the span of one hand to measure over 170 million years of geological evolution.
As with all waterfall photography, a nice bright overcast day gives the softest light for capturing detail in the moving water. However, if it’s a sunny day it’s not necessarily a big problem as the waterfall is in a large limestone amphitheatre and is in the shade until around the middle of the day, so if you’re there early enough the open shade with reflected light from the surrounding rocks works very well too.
