Thursday Postcard Hunt is in search for watery delights and starts the month with waterfalls...
Thornton Force, part of a series of cascades and waterfalls that tumble over Yorkshire Dales limestone. The other photo shows a typical limestone pavement with Ingleborough in the background, one of the three peaks people like to run as a challenge (a 24 mile round trip). For something more relaxing then it is definitely the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. Refreshment in the village of Ingleton a happy end to both endeavors.
Ireland's highest waterfall (121metres/398 ft) flows over granite and at the bottom is a recommended picnic spot.

121 metres is quite something!
The lasts postcard seems a bit less dangerous. I wonder what is the story of the old mill...
I don't see a wheel at the 'old mill'... Watching Escape to the Country, I like when the mystery house is an old mill, with the inner workings still there as a conversation piece - and having your own river or waterfall right at your doorstep!
Thornton Force is beautiful, and the limestone pavement is fascinating. I've seen basalt columns (Devil's Postpile and Giant's Causeway) that are in a pattern, these are different. Interesting.
they are all beautiful, but the last one is what is very appealing to me.
