Here, a prehistoric seismic shift in the earth will have uplifted some of the limestone in the river bed higher than the rest, creating these cascades and limestone platforms.

    There’s no way “Grassington” is a real place right? Right?!

      Sure, it’s in between Kettlewell, Blubberhouses, Giggleswick and Wigglesworth. (No, really)

        GNUtrino is bag on. The village used to be recorded as Gherinstone, Garsington, or Gersington. It’s a mix of Old Norse and Old English, meaning something like “the town with the grassy ings” (an “ing” is a dialect term for a meadow near a river).
