Cauldron Falls (also known as West Burton Falls), is a series of waterfalls on Walden Beck in the village of West Burton, North Yorkshire, England.
It is known as Cauldron Falls due to the swirls in the plunge pools beneath the cascades of the waterfall.
The waterfall is located on the Walden Beck, a tributary of the River Ure, in West Burton, which traverses a fault in the bed of the shelving rock.
[2][3][4] The initial step of the waterfall is a steep cascade which flows east, then immediately south into a plunge pool, the section under the packhorse bridge then cascades into another pool.
[9] The name Cauldron Falls, refers to the swirling effect of the water in the plunge pool below the main waterfall.
