On the drainage-ridge east of Goathland dale Lilla Howe Cross 



attains an elevation of i,ooo feet, at a distance of five miles 



from the sea. From this peak an almost unbranched sylvan 



glen, called Iburndale, runs down to the Esk. Its stream is 



called Little Beck, and it has a fine waterfall upon it, which is 



called Falling Force, and of which the hard arenaceous Dogger 



beds form the cap-rock. These waterfalls of the branch dales 



of the Esk are* all within the compass of a day's excursion from 



Whitby, and they are the only falls of any considerable size 



which we have on the east of the Central Valley. Below 



Sleights, and where Iburndale opens out, the main dale of 



Esk widens, and the stream curves gradually round towards the 



north. The heather is now left behind, and there are several 



villages of considerable size amongst the undulated ground 



which margins the stream upon both sides as we approach its 



mouth. At Ruswarp it receives on the south the stream of 



another dale, which penetrates the moors in the direction of 



the Derwent, and winding past pleasant woods, and heights 



diversified by halls and homesteads, it flows beneath the steep 



craggy banks upon the slope and summit of which the town of 



Whitby is built into the ocean. The rarer plants of the lower 



part of the dale are :

 Lathyrus sylvestris
