The waterfall hiding in plain sight, right in the middle of Hawes ๐ฆ
Tumbling over limestone shelves just yards from the cottages, gardens and cars of everyday village life.
Wild, powerful, and completely unassuming.
You don't need to go looking for waterfalls in the Dales.
Sometimes they're right behind your garden wall ๐
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway ๐
First opened in 1836 as the Whitby and Pickering Railway, this line was built to carry coal, limestone and passengers through the Moors, until the Beeching cuts closed it in 1965.
Volunteers weren't ready to let it go, and by 1973, steam was running again and has been ever since ๐ฅฐ
@Jeanthebean8816@simonmontefiore You will find treachery, betrayal, murder, all kinds of thugs and thieves, and the destruction of ancient civilizations... This is the Middle East when the Arabs and Muslims entered it.
There are places in North Yorkshire where Romans walked, Vikings settled and Monks prayed.
Now we just casually walk past them on a Friday evening.
We are incredible lucky to live here.
