Amongst many of the North Yorkshire tourist attractions (For instance, the Scar House Reservoir, the Bolton Abbey, Harrogate and others), it excels with its uniqueness and beautiful view.

Sometimes, with 20 meters in depth (only in some places), the steep-sided ravine of the gorge, is crossed by footbridges and narrow paths. The water carves wonderful and fantastic shapes in the large boulders, rushing over them. This process depends also on the weather.
