This is the River Swale at Richmond in Yorkshire... and yes, I did have some of the local Swaledale cheese :-)

The castle on the hill is Richmond Castle dating from Norman times .

The waterfall reminds me Robin Hood'scene, where he fights against Little John. Place and post are wonderful, anyway. biskayne · 2011-05-16: 16:44

Look like they need a drop of rain to fill it up a bit! Charming set :-) girafferacing · 2011-05-16: 17:04

Do you carry a tripod to get the 'water turned cotton' shots?? I love the vastness of that last shot! DancingDolphin · 2011-05-16: 18:27

Not only are these beautiful, but I learn something almost every time I visit your blog. Swale: A low or hollow place, esp. a marshy depression between ridges. liveandletlive · 2011-05-17: 17:20

Stunning views.. Well caught! :) MsCumberdale · 2011-05-18: 10:03

I can imagine the sound of the water. That's a lovely picture with the bridge. ????? · 2011-05-20: 10:55
