The waterfall entering River Roddlesworth in Tockholes No2 Plantation (Roddlesworth Woods) is tall and can be quite attractive; but it is often dry or reduced to a mere trickle. Happily it is along the main walking circuit in Roddlesworth Woods so there are many opportunities to check when passing.
If visiting with a camera, and hopefully tripod, there are several interesting rock outcrops and bedding in the river just downstream. The water, although shallow is good for long-exposure photography.
