The broken cascade of falls tumbles a total of 650 feet (198 m)[1] down a cliff face at the head of a wild and bleak glacial valley that comes down from a high plateau called The Calf. It is located in the Howgill Fells, traditionally in the West Riding of Yorkshire but now in Cumbria on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The waterfall is just north of the small town of Sedbergh. This fall is one of the few cascade falls in England; most are either tiered or plunge falls. {{clear left}}References1. ^1 {{cite web | title=Cautley Spout | work=English Lakes | url=http://www.english-lakes.com/cautley_spout.html | accessdate=2009-05-06 }} 2. ^{{cite web | title=Britain's best waterfalls | work=The Telegraph article | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/8572887/Britains-best-waterfalls.html?image=12 | accessdate=2013-12-05 }} External links
