The White Lady waterfall at Lydford Gorge Lydford Gorge (detail)
The Lyd is a river rising at Lyd Head[1] Dartmoor national park in Devon in South West England and flowing into the River Tamar beyond Lifton .[2] Lydford Gorge , the deepest gorge in South West England.
Lydford Gorge [ edit ]
Lydford Gorge (National Trust ) is a dramatic feature of the river at Lydford on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park ; it is a 1.5-mile (2.4 km ) gorge near Lydford on the River Lyd, which is the deepest in South West England. It was formed by the process of river capture , where the start of a nearby river eroded backwards until its origin met the Lyd, diverting its course into the second channel.[3]
Owned and maintained by the National Trust since 1947, the gorge features the 100-foot (30 m ) tall White Lady Waterfall and a series of whirlpools known as the Devil's Cauldron.[4]
