Is this the Best Waterfall in Britain?

- Best known for its magnificent waterfall - the fifth highest in the UK - and uniquely dramatic scenery, Grey Mare’s Tail is a superb example of a hanging valley.
The area boasts a rich history as well, and is important for its rare upland plants and wildlife.
Situated just 10 miles east of Moffat on the A708, Grey Mare’s Tail sits in a dramatic moorland setting below White Coomb (821m/2,694ft, the highest hill in Dumfriesshire). Take a ten minute walk from the car park for spectacular views of the fall, which cascades from Loch Skeen into the Moffat Water Valley from a rocky precipice 60m (200ft) above. Or climb the steep slopes of White Coomb for an even more stunning viewpoint.
You can also see the Tail Burn ‘fort’, an Iron Age earthwork. Although it has long been known as the ‘Giant’s Grave’ it is not a burial mound, and may be defensive or perhaps even a ritual site.
The site is managed by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS). The remote wild mountainous landscape above the waterfall, coupled with its outstanding botanical richness make the reserve one of Scotland’s upland jewels.
Admission is free, but visitors are encouraged to support the work of NTS by joining or making a donation.
Gorgeous landscapes bud, beautifully filmed. They remind me of Windows wallpapers 😄

You should work for National Trust Scotland! Gorgeous. You deserve a Blue Peter badge.
Aww Maggie! So lovely to connect with you on here! You and Wee Davy were wonderful, I did the walk and it was stunning. Video coming soon.

Just finished the West Highland Way. Doing the Three Peaks in September.
I can see bit of disappointment on Your face ... and I understand You.Almost everywhere where I go ..big sign "DON'T GO TO THE WATER,DON'T GO THERE" ,"DANGER" ,"NO SWIMMING NO FISHING" , "BLUE AND GREEN ALGAE ,DON'T TOUCH WATER" ,"NO KAYAKING OR BOATING","PRIVATE LAND" "NO ACCESS FOR STRANGERS" , "NO BBQ OR ANY FIRE" ..on, and on, and on.. Now when you have found nice place to swim Scottish Farmer he fertilized his fields farm and all this manure get via soil to the waterfall. We need to buy own land my friend...together..100 acres of Scotland for example ..building the fence like Romans did and on the top wire with 240v connected and big sign "Land Of Freedom and Leisure ,with not stupid rules and regulations....and not farmers with manure"
What you think ?
This sounds like a cult…I’m in! One problem, I’m broke. It is frustrating but Scotland has far less rules than England and the locals have been so kind and friendly. Take it easy buddy. Keep that dream alive too, one day.
