An image from the right hand side of the river when looking at the weir. This provides an alternative to the classic view, which is taken from the left side, where you can get much closer to the base of the Weir and get the full length of the Weir.

A beautiful spot. Although original compositions can be tricky to find, its one of those situations where it really does not bother you as you're just happy to have your turn to press the shutter on a great composition.

Dinner with a View. This image was taken on the path down to the Weir turning back to appreciate the views of the Viaduct. Always worth resisting tunnel vision on your way to a location and keeping your head up for bonus compositions.

An image from further back along the River Wye, just by the footbridge looking down the river to the weir. This view works better in the Autumn as the colour in the trees adds interest.

About this spot
The River Wye courses its way from Buxton, through Monsal Dale and onwards to Bakewell and beyond.

In Monsal Dale, the Wye crashes over a man-made weir, creating one a rather special looking waterfall.
