Keld waterfalls are only a short distance from the source of the River Swale,This is the fastest flowing river in England.Because it is prone to flash flooding, many have lost thier lives as it rises remarkably fast after heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of Swaledale. After passing through the ancient town of Richmond (we have the real one up here.....oops)it travels accross country to link up with the River Ure, which in turn becomes the Ouse, emptying into the sea at the Humber estuary.
The colour of the water in the picture is caused by iron particles. (and not by me using the wrong colour profile )
