The name of Wensleydale is almost synonymous with its cheese, beloved by Wallace in the Wallace and Grommit films. It is a beautiful valley, like all the Yorkshire Dales, and more visited than Swaledale<\/a> to the north, perhaps because of that famous cheese! Another draw is the very many waterfalls to be found here.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently spent a very pleasant day exploring the dale and visiting some of the waterfalls. The weather was perhaps typical of August in northern England. It was mild but cloudy, and mostly dry although we had rain towards the end of the day. Nevertheless, we managed to see a lot and had some very pleasant walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed playing with the settings on my camera to alternate between freezing the drops of water in the falls and letting them blur to create a sense of movement. The brown colour of the water, by the way, is caused by peat washed down from the moors above after heavy rains prior to our visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wensley Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This small waterfall is often overlooked, and we therefore had it to ourselves when we stopped for a quick look on our way up the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
