Biggersdale Hole
Biggersdale Hole
Biggersdale Hole is a waterfall on East Row Beck, tucked within a steep-sided gully on the North York Moors in North Yorkshire.
It lies directly south of the ruins of Mulgrave Old Castle, across a wooded ravine, and is marked on OS map OL27 (North York Moors Eastern Area).
The waterfall is steeped in local folklore as the home of "Jeanie of Biggersdale," a supernatural figure variously described as a fairy, witch, sprite, or bogle. In some tellings, Jeanie dwells in a hollow beneath the falls.
The legend is colourful enough to have earned her the alternative title "Jeanie the Hag."
