Some of the group go to morning service in the busy church at Linton
but I walk past and go on
to the stepping stones across the River Wharfe
but decide the water is too high for me to cross
quite a few of the stones are under water
and I can't see them close to the other bank
I walk past a finely carved stone in the Churchyard
This house was I think for the mill manager at Linton. The mill has
been replaced by modern housing in keeping with the area
Quite a few people cross the footbridge and some stop to look. The
falls are much quieter than on my previous visit
but the water still flows down fiercely
Upstream is the hydroelectric power station
and I walk along the far bank towards it
spotting a large bird, which I'm told is a cormorant
The power station had gone out of service by 1949 but has recently
been restored and again produces powe
I walk a few yards up the walled path towards Grassington
but then come back and see if I can photograph the falls from this
bank
It isn't easy but there are glimpses through the trees
I wander up the hill above the church and get a good view of the sewage
works
After the others come out of church we drive into the village, about
half a mile away
A large village green is dominated by the Fountaine Hospital Almshouse
built in 1813 and still in its original use
An attractive bridge spans the stream
and a little way down are some stepping stones to a house gate marked 'PRIVATE'
