This unnamed waterfall is at the foot of Cow Close Gill on Buckden Pike, it is visible from the B6160 road north of the tiny village of Cray.

Cray High Bridge has a number of little limestone fractures that allow the water to create these picturesque features.

A small but delightful waterfall, still in flow despite the dry summer.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The lower slopes of Buckden Pike above the hamlet of Cray. The near horizontal lines of limestone scars stand out well, showing the succession of Yoredale series rocks along the fellside. Higher up one runs into sandstone and the inevitable boggy peat. The most noticeable man made feature are the 19th century drystone walls running up the hillside.

Dist:0.1km<br/>These falls are where the Cow Close Ghyll drops down to run into the Cray Ghyll. The falls are looking quite spectacular after some recent heavy rains.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This bridleway leading down towards Buckden is generally accepted as following the line of a Roman Road from the fort at Ilkley to another at Bainbridge. The route is lost down valley from Buckden, but is well defined over Stake Moss to the north. Maybe not the weather for a tunic and sandals.

Dist:0.3km<br/>I snapped this mainly because I thought the battleship grey sky made a lovely contrast with the pale greens of limestone grass.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The view down Cray Gill towards the hamlet of Cray. On a cold February day one can almost anticipate the roaring fire and glass of real ale at the White Lion.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This photograph shows a view of a section of the minor road (Park Lane) that runs between Kidstones Bank (ahead) and Cray (behind the photographer). The picture was taken looking in a north-easterly direction towards Buckden Causeway Moss.
