[door]way in the wall on the right side of the road, and passing
through that, and over a stile in another wall which runs off at
right angles, and then turning to the left for about fifty yards,
there are a few scattered stones lying around a sort of natural
drain. This is called 'Robin Hood's Mill;' and if the ear is put
to the aperture, as closely as possible, a sound as of rumbling

From hence, proceed through Little Stainforth to STAINFORTH
FORCE, which lies about fifty yards south of the bridge over the
Ribble. This pretty cascade is formed by a succession of steppes

|
CATTERICK FORCE, a splendid waterfall, about half a mile from the
village. This spot is similar in detail to Easgill, but having a

|
|
|
MALHAM COVE, one of the most tremendous precipices which can be

forming a natural barricade of stone of every variety of shade,
nearly 300 feet high. A stream of water - the source of the Aire
- flows from a small cavity at its base. When viewed from a
distance, it has the appearance of an immense ruin, being
apparently pierced with ornamental windows and doorways.
