A couple relaxes on the bank of River Ure and enjoys the water flowing over Upper Asygarth Falls, Yorkshire Dales, England.

The Asygarth Falls were created when meltwater from the Ice-Age that had been held back by a terminal moraine, spilled down over the area and eroded the boulder clay and into the bedrock limestone underneath. The falls drop 200 feet (61 m) over a half-mile section of the River Ure. Here are some views of the Upper Asygarth Falls.
