Janet's Foss : ウィキペディア英語版 | Janet's Foss
Janet's Foss is a small waterfall in the vicinity of the village of Malham, North Yorkshire, England. It carries Gordale Beck over a limestone outcrop topped by tufa into a deep pool below. The pool was traditionally used for sheep dipping, an event which took on a carnival air and drew the village inhabitants for the social occasion.〔 The name ''Janet'' (sometimes ''Jennet'') is thought to be a folk tale reference to a fairy queen who inhabited a cave at the rear of the fall.〔 ''Foss'' is a Nordic word for waterfall, still used in Scandinavia, and is presented in a number of cases in England as 'force'.〔 ''Janet's Foss'' was the location of the fictional Molkham Falls as featured in the 2006 independent British film, ''Waterfall''. Filming took place there in May 2006. == See also ==
