In the woods about half way up the Lead Mines Clough there is a swift drop in the Limestone Brook that has eroded away to form a spout-like waterfall that is a bit of a hidden surprise for those that follow the stream rather than the well trodden path higher up the valley side.
Sadly the little dell that hides the waterfall is often obscured by fallen branches and even trees at times.

A nice waterfall on sunny days, just below the small bridge at the top of Lead Mines Clough.
Not really a waterfall but almost and a really interesting rock channel.
