Yellow Brook Lower Waterfall

A tiny, artificial cascade over strange, interlocking blocks.

Some of the water here is from the old coal mines that is filtered upstream by a series of ponds and reed-beds that have been set up to remove iron from the water.

Not much to see here unless you’re passing but it looks nice enough – although there can be litter around.
