| Additional Notes | Surprisingly these waterfalls on Hoods Bottom Beck have no name on the 1:25000 OS Map Hoods Bottom Beck Falls seems the most appropriate.
Who was Mr Hood? He appears to have been influential
in remote locations since there is a Hoods Edge and Hoods Hills at the head of Stonesdale. |
