Can anyone expand this artcile anymore? I've expanded it as much as I can, but i think a bit more can be added.-fonzy

i am trying to find some info on other sites coz this one doesnt tell much - ill add to the page if i can :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.206.40.142 (talk) 18:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article tells as much about a waterfall as anyone needs I should think. The only thing that might be added is the comments of travellers. I'll see if I can gather some. Meanwhile the bit about Hadrian's Wall is surely superfluous. High Force is nowhere near the Wall. I'll delete it

Yorkshire?

High Force is in the administrative county of county durham but forms part of the border between the traditional counties of Yorkshire and County Durham. Its not in North Yorkshire as that is also an administrative county that co exists with the area currently run by durham county council. To describe a geographical feature such as a waterfall I think the use of traditional counties that have fixed boundaries is more appropriate. Administrative areas change over time and are of more use when describing how towns are governed rather than the location of a physical feature. Anyway I'll let someone else decide whats best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teesandhumber (talk • contribs) 19:57, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The present consensus is to use current day administration units for geographical places/features rather than historic administration units. Keith D (talk) 21:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

so by these rules is leeds not in yorkshire since it is no longer administered by a council with yorkshire in its name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teesandhumber (talk • contribs) 11:34, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leeds is in West Yorkshire. Keith D (talk) 12:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leeds is run by leeds city council and no west yorkshire council exists so west yorkshire isn't a current county in exactly the same way that yorkshire isn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teesandhumber (talk • contribs) 16:16, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although the county council was abolished, West Yorkshire continues to form a metropolitan and ceremonial county with a Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire and a High Sheriff. City of Leeds together with the other councils (City of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees & City of Wakefield) form metropolitan boroughs/districts within the ceremonial county. Keith D (talk) 17:34, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And yorkshire continues to form a cultural region, traditional county and geographic area. Therefore high force is half in yorkshire!--Teesandhumber (talk) 12:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, just because its governed by a council called durham doesn't mean its culturally or historically fully within durham, Yorkshire does need a mention, besides the waterfall plunges into the left hand side of the river nearest the Yorkshire, south bank of the Tees.--Rickyrichmond (talk) 19:32, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As said previously we use current day geography (see WP:USECURRENTCOUNTIES) and Yorkshire is a historic county not a current county. Keith D (talk) 19:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was there yesterday, and the boards stated going down (next to an almost perfect section - except that the limestone wasn't exposed) it was dolerite, sandstone, shale and then limestone. Of course in the Northern Pennines, these occur cyclically as cyclothems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.243.203 (talk) 22:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Type?

Single Drop is not listed as a type at Waterfall#Types by the descriptions given there it seems clear this qualifies as a curtain type waterfall. So I am making the change. MickStep (talk) 20:52, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing the list again it seems it's possible it could be a cascade due to the thin layer of sandstone. Any input on this? MickStep (talk) 21:10, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
