The geology of the Yorkshire Dales is perfect for supporting waterfalls. The spectacular landscape is a result of the area's geololical history with much of the Yorkshire Dales National Park covered in carboniferous limestone which is interspersed with shales, gritstones and sandstones. Natural landshift which created the topography of the area during the great ice age and subsequent erosion of the softer stones has caused rivers and becks to form waterfalls all over the dales. Some are little more than a few inches high, many less than the height of an adult person. Yet there are many many spoectacular waterfalls to be found. Some are solitary like Hardraw Force, the highest of them all and some part of a series of cascades like the ones at Aysgarth Falls. Others include Beezley Falls, Catrake Falls, Catrigg, Falls and Cautley Falls to name a few
