Lovely Falls
Sep 2021
The Falls are very attractive and worth a visit. Not massive but good to visit. The terrain is a bit difficult if you are not steady on your feet and want to get close to the Falls

Beautiful spot
Aug 2021
West Burton is a really pretty village with one of the largest village greens in the UK. It was a lovely sunny day when we visited and we had a stroll around the village before visiting the falls. The village has a butchers, shop and tea room, as well as the local pub. There are no public toilets in the village but you can use those at the pub if you buy something or pay £1 or the shopkeeper will let you use his for a donation to the air ambulance. The falls were beautiful, especially with the sun shining through the trees overhead. There were a few people around but nowhere near as busy as Aysgarth Falls. So glad we went.

Beautiful
Jun 2021 • Friends
We were told about this waterfall by a couple we met at another waterfall and decided to take a drive to see it. It is in a small village just outside of Aysgarth and is beautiful. There is a very small car park at the falls but it's only a short walk if you park in the village.
There is a stone bridge which crosses the river and you can take a walk along the river but we didn't do this as we visited early evening.
There is a honesty box by the bridge for donation towards the upkeep of the area.

A delight
Jun 2021
I could sit and watch the falls for hours. So therapeutic. If want to sit in peace and think, this is the place to be. Its beautiful and the sound of the water falling into the plunge and then eddying away is sublime. It is a stone's throw from the village green in West Burton.

Really worth the short walk
Oct 2020
Staying in West Burton, the falls were a short walk from our cottage. They are accessible on foot with minimal effort and offer great photo opportunities! Despite the noise of the water there is a lively atmosphere as yo7 are surrounded by trees and bird song.

Fabulous waterfall and cascades
Aug 2020 • Couples
This waterfall is also known as cauldron falls.
If you only visit one waterfall in the Dales and want somewhere less touristy, these are the falls for you.
We visited after a period with lots of rain so they were particularly good
The main waterfall drops into a pool, it when cascades under a pretty arched bridge. There's plenty of flat rock and grassy areas and would be a perjswim in the pool below the waterfall.
I could have happily spend hours here.
There isn't much parking but that means that visitors are limited. I would also reccomend the homemade cake at the local shop.

Outstanding
Aug 2020
Also known as Cauldron Falls, this is a hidden Gem in the charming village of West Burton.
We walked from nearby Aysgarth (also well worth a visit) through the village to this hidden gem, there was a few families but not overcrowded and the views are stunning, amazing that this is free but there is the option to make a donation which we did.
After exploring and being able to get very close (safely) to the waterfall (the water is very refreshing!) we enjoyed a quick pint at The Fox and Hounds in the village.
A very enjoyable morning!

Cauldron Falls/West Burton falls
Aug 2020 • Family
We heard some of the major waterfalls get very busy and are expensive; these were quiet and free! Lovely spot in gorgeous village of West Burton which has pub serving morning coffee and then lunch. We did 6mile circular walk along river heading south which was beautiful.

Hi I want to have a hand fasting ceremony at the falls would I need permission for this ?

Sounds very appealing. On the basis of equality, I contend that a hand fasting ceremony has similarities with marriage or other civil ceremony. This being so, permission should be sought - one would definitely need permission or a licence to have a wedding in a public park, for instance. The local council should be the first port of call - the wording of the application will be important because you may encounter misconception or suspicion. The planned date and timing of the event together with the number of people likely to attend will be very relevant. A small scale, brief, low key event that will not intrude on anyone else's access or enjoyment is more likely to be approved than a coach party (!) but there are other potential concerns such as health and safety, impact on parking, noise and it will be crucial to stress that there will be no music, litter or alcohol. It may be prudent to consult the Pagan Federation (easily found on any search engine) for help or advice. This may all seem OTT but at stake is your big day, which could be ruined should someone with authority arrive during proceedings.
