The Castle in the Clouds estate includes a wide range of natural features, including this waterfall on Shannon Brook.
"49 ft. high, the water plunging at an angle of 80° over a ragged cliff of blackened rock into a deep basin of transparent clearness. This is surrounded on all sides, except at the outlet, by high and rugged walls of rock, in which deep hollows are seen. The white and resounding falls leap down from a rectangular flume in the cliff. A pretty view is gained from the ledges above the falls, and favorable glimpses of the plunging water through the abundant foliage of the glen are afforded from below."
(From "The White Mountains", By Moses Foster Sweetser. Ticknor and co., 1886)
