Crooked Edge Waterfall

The Crooked Edge waterfall is located just above the confluence of the Crooked Edge Brook and the River Douglas and is adjacent to the larger Tigers Clough waterfall.

The area is often overgrown and the view from downstream is often choked with large logs and sections of fallen trees washed down after storms.

Crooked Edge waterfall is often disappointingly dry but on a good day the small rocky alcove into which the water falls can be delightfully verdant.

As mentioned elsewhere the area can be plagued by litter.
