Troller's Gill
Troller's Gill is a limestone gorge, close to the village of Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dales (grid reference SE068619).
Description
For most of the year the stream bed is dry, the water flowing underground.[1] The Gill is also the location of an old lead and later fluorspar mine which was last worked in the 1960s.
Legends
Legend has it that the Gill is the home of the mythical monstrous black dog Barghest who can turn one to stone with a look.[1] Roger and the Rottentrolls is a fictional children's television program which takes the name of its setting from Troller's Gill; however, filming took place at Brimham Rocks, a short distance away.
