I spent many a happy hour playing around Five Arches in the 50's/early 60's, but I haven't been up there for knocking on forty years. Is my imagination playing tricks on me or was there a waterfall with a little cottage and bridge next to it somewhere up there? And was there an old stone quarry on the Fern Gore side of the clough? I seem to remember we called it Black Rock and it formed the backdrop to many a game of "cowies" and indians!
