Near this village is a tremendous cliff, called Thornton Scar, partly clothed with wood and partly exhibiting the bare rock. At a short distance hence, is Thornton Fors, a fine cascade, which rushes from an aperture in a high rock, and falls at one leap nearly thirty yards, partly from the top of a rocky ledge, over half of which it falls in one unbroken sheet of four yards wide, and then tumbles over a bulging rock into a deep black pool below. Information on the following places in this Parish is contained on a supplementary page.
