Janet's Foss in Malhamdale in the Yorkshire Dales.
Janet's Foss Foss is the old norse word for a waterfall or force and Janet (or Jennet) was belived to be the queen of the local fairies who lives behind the the fall in a cave. The fall is noticeable for its moss-covered tufa screen over which it falls, the tufa extending from the lip of the fall down to the level of the pool. The calceous Gordale Beck, along with the moss that has grown on the edge of the fall, causes some of the calcite to be deposited over the moss. Gradually the deposited tufa has grown forward to form the apron which we now see today.
