Hardraw Force, Waterfall in High Abbotside, Yorkshire Dales, England.
Located in a wooded ravine, Hardraw Force drops 100 feet in a single stream of water through limestone formations and sandstone layers.
The waterfall sustained damage during an 1899 flood, leading to reinforcement of its upper edge with metal stakes for preservation purposes.
The limestone gorge behind the Green Dragon Inn hosts an annual brass band competition in September, drawing musicians from Northern England.
The waterfall remains accessible through a paid turnstile entrance behind the Green Dragon Inn, with paths suitable for wheelchairs.
The waterfall served as a filming location for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, featuring in a scene where Robin bathes under its waters.
