Janet's Foss
Janet's Foss is a small waterfall close to the village of Malham. It carries Gordale Beck over a limestone outcrop topped by tufa into a deep pool below. The pool was traditionally used for sheep dipping, a jolly event which drew in local village inhabitants for the social occasion. The name Janet is believed to refer to a fairy queen held to inhabit a cave at the rear of the fall.
