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 drew in local village inhabitants for the social occasion. The name Janet (sometimes Jennet) is believed to refer to a fairy queen reputed to inhabit 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 ist ein kleiner Wasserfall in der Nähe des britischen Ortes Malham, North Yorkshire. Durch den Wasserfall fließt der Bach , ein Zufluss der Aire, in ein größeres Becken. In diesem Becken wurden in der Vergangenheit Schafe vor dem Scheren Ende Juni gewaschen, um die Wolle zu säubern und das Wachstum anzuregen. Zudem wurde das kleine Felsplateau beim Wasserfall für Feste genutzt. (de)

  • Janet’s Foss ist ein kleiner Wasserfall in der Nähe des britischen Ortes Malham, North Yorkshire. Durch den Wasserfall fließt der Bach , ein Zufluss der Aire, in ein größeres Becken. In diesem Becken wurden in der Vergangenheit Schafe vor dem Scheren Ende Juni gewaschen, um die Wolle zu säubern und das Wachstum anzuregen. Zudem wurde das kleine Felsplateau beim Wasserfall für Feste genutzt. Der Name Janet (manchmal auch: Jennet) bezieht sich auf eine Feenkönigin, die dem Volksglauben zufolge in der Nähe wohnte. Foss ist ein nordisches Wort für „Wasserfall“, das in Skandinavien noch gebräuchlich ist und bei anderen englischen Wasserfällen die Form force hat. (de)
