Searching for More Waterfalls in Lead Mines Clough
My original intention was to walk up Lead Mines Clough and then onto Anglezarke Moor, with the destination being the Bronze Age burial mound. Instead I went in search of more waterfalls in the clough. The result was an interesting walk with, for me, a rather scary moment.
Finding the Waterfall in Lead Mines Clough
Some time ago I saw a picture of a waterfall in Lead Mines Clough, so today I took the dogs for a walk there to see if I could find it. Whilst I’m not certain I found what I was looking for, it was nevertheless a very enjoyable walk.
Tigers Clough Revisited
Now that the snow had gone I thought it might be a good time to revisit Tigers Clough. I was hoping that the melting snow and the recent rain had provided plenty of water to rush over the waterfall.
Top of the Waterfall
Today I spent another three hours with the dogs in the Terraced Gardens at Rivington, including finding the top of the tiered waterfall I went looking for last Wednesday. It’s all pretty overgrown now but it must have looked really good when it was constructed in the 1920’s.
In Search of a Waterfall
I first saw this waterfall in May 2004 on one of my first walks around the Terraced Gardens at Rivington when there was little water flowing. Now, with the constant rain of the past few weeks there is plenty of water, so I thought I’d pay the waterfall another visit.
Edale – Kinder Plateau – Edale
This was a very pleasant but demanding (at least for me) eight miles circular walk, starting at the village of Grindsbrook Booth in the Edale Valley and taking in the Kinder Plateau with a return via Jacobs Ladder. It was also Connor’s second walk of this length and he was looking forward to it eagerly.
Images of Rivington
Click on images to see larger versions. The weather has been vile this past couple of days, and I’m not one for setting off on a walk in heavy rain, so I thought I’d while away a few hours by putting together some of the pictures I have of Rivington and the surrounding area so [...]
Tigers Clough Waterfall – The Movie
Click on each picture to see an enlargement. The waterfall in Tiger’s Clough is not a big one but it’s nevertheless quite a picturesque spot where it’s located. It’s in a secluded area off the beaten track in Rivington, and the path to it can be boggy in places, but once there it’s worth the [...]
Hunting Tigers – Part 2
Today’s little escapade could well have been subtitled “Two and a Half Hours of Soggy Feet”, for that’s what I got rather than a collection of great pictures. You may remember that on my first attempt to find a waterfall in Tiger’s Clough all I got was the sky falling on me in the shape [...]
Hunting Tigers – Part 1
Clough is an unusual word. You may wonder what it has to do with tiger hunting, but continue on dear reader and all will be revealed. In the English language the word clough has many meanings. For example, dictionary.com lists six results from a trawl of its database, but the one that interests me is [...]
