Discover the serene beauty of Lumb Falls

Nestled in the picturesque Crimsworth Dean, Lumb Falls is a hidden gem that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This stunning waterfall, with its cascading waters and lush green surroundings, is a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Why Visit Lumb Falls?

  • Natural Beauty: The falls are surrounded by breathtaking scenery, including towering trees, vibrant foliage, and crystal-clear streams.
  • Peaceful Atmosphere: The serene ambiance of the area makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind.
  • Photo Opportunities: The picturesque setting provides endless opportunities for capturing stunning photos.

Tips for Your Visit:

  • Best Time to Visit: Spring and summer are ideal times to visit, when the water flow is at its peak.
  • Wear Appropriate Footwear: The path to the falls can be slippery, so it's important to wear sturdy footwear.
  • Respect the Environment: Please leave no trace and avoid disturbing the natural habitat.
  • Bring a Camera: Capture the beauty of the falls and the surrounding area.

How to Get There:

Lumb Falls is located in Crimsworth Dean, a short drive from the town of Hebden Bridge. There is ample parking available near the trailhead as Crimsworth Dean is found in the same National Trust managed woodland as Hardcastle Crags. The walk to the falls is relatively short and easy, approx. 1.7 miles from Midgehole, making it suitable for families with children although people with limited walking abilities may struggle.

So, if you're looking for a peaceful escape into nature, be sure to add Lumb Falls to your list of must-visit destinations.

A Brief History

The history of St Asaph Parish Church dates back to the 6th century when St Kentigern is believed to have established a church on the site, the dedication to St Asaph was added in the 12th Century. Over the centuries, the church has undergone various renovations and additions, resulting in its unique blend of architectural styles.

St Asaph Parish Church is not only a place of religious worship but also a vibrant community hub. The church hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year, including concerts, exhibitions, and social gatherings.

Whether you're a history buff, a spiritual seeker, or simply looking for a beautiful place to visit, St Asaph Parish Church is well worth a visit. Its rich history, stunning architecture, and welcoming atmosphere make it a truly special place.

I visited on a July morning, venturing to the charming city of St Asaph, North Wales to explore amongst many things, the Parish Church of St Asaph. Though the interior was closed, the church's exterior was a sight to behold, nestled on a small plot of land to the east of the River Elwy, commanding attention from the High Street. The photo's below, taken with a Nikon d3300, offer a glimpse of its grandeur. For a closer look, be sure to check them out in higher resolution on Clickasnap.

Margate Jetty Art: A Glimpse into the Victorian Past

A vintage postcard depicting Margate Pier in its heyday, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The pier stretches out into the sea, bustling with activity, with people strolling along its wooden planks and enjoying the seaside views.

The Victorian Pier:

Margate, a charming seaside town in Kent, England, has a rich history intertwined with its iconic pier. Initially constructed of wood in 1824, it was rebuilt with iron in 1855 and extended over the following years, the pier was a marvel of Victorian engineering, attracting visitors from far and wide. It served as a popular destination for leisure, entertainment, and transportation.

A Hub of Activity:

The pier was more than just a walkway; it was a vibrant hub of activity. Visitors could enjoy a variety of attractions, including:

  • Bandstands: Listen to live music performances from talented musicians.
  • Pavilions: Explore shops, arcades, and tea rooms.
  • Fishing: Cast a line and try your luck at catching fish.
  • Horse-drawn carriages: Take a leisurely ride along the promenade.

A Symbol of Seaside Pleasure:

The pier's popularity peaked during the Victorian era when seaside holidays became a fashionable pastime. Families and couples flocked to Margate to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the fresh sea air and scenic views.

A Changing Landscape:

Over the years, Margate Pier has faced challenges, including storms and structural damage. It closed in 1976, was badly damaged in 1978 and underwent occasionally demolition until the final section was completely removed in 1998.

The artwork below was created by me based on a Victorian era postcard I have in my collection, copies can be purchased from my Colin_picture_this Zazzle store on various products. You can also transfer the design to alternative products of your choosing as required.
