Malham Cove waterfall

 The beauty spot is a large, curved limestone cliff at the head of a valley, with a fine area of limestone pavement at the top (pictured)
A waterfall which has been dry for hundreds of years has been brought back to life by Storm Desmond.
Malham cove was featured in the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) as one of the places Hermione and Harry travel to
Malham Cove has been reignited by heavy rainfall over the weekend and at 200ft is now believed to be the highest unbroken waterfall in England.
Martin Davies, general manager of the National Trust Malham Tarn Estate, explained that Malham Cove sits at the bottom of Watlowes Dry Valley which is a meltwater, a glacial overflow channel
It hasn't flowed for centuries but the stream of water is now back at Malham Cove, a formidable high limestone cliff formation just outside the village of Malham, North Yorkshire.
