River Roddlesworth Upper Waterfall

The furthest upstream waterfall of note on the River Roddlesworth is found from a little detour off the old Mill Lane in Roddlesworth Woods.

Situated as many local waterfalls are, in what appears to be the boundary of a geological fault and probably modified by industry a couple of hundred years ago the waterfall is easily viewed from the path on the west bank of the river. Water volume over the River Roddlesworth waterfalls varies from disappointing to manic after wet weather.
