I took it from the guide book which states "the largest drop of any waterfall in the UK". I'm not sure if 'drop' is different from 'highest' but I will amend my report to call it the third highest.
I've always understood that "drop" of a waterfall refers to the free, unimpeded fall of water, whereas the height is the total fall from top to bottom which may include one or more drops.
