The Lake District is great for clear water streams with fast flowing water over rocks and pebbles. Don't just look at the big views (as impressive as they are), little babbling brooks can be just as interesting. There's also lots of waterfalls in Cumbria. Moss Force nr Buttermere is an interesting one, with nice open views and less visitors than some of the more famous falls and forces.
As with all falls, it's at it's best in Spring and Winter or after a heavy period of Summer rain. (not unknown in the Lake District).
