Wonderful Waterfalls

Yorkshire DalesOutdoors & LandscapesNature
Susan Briggs· 1 minute

Waterfalls are at their most spectacular when it’s been raining. There's no shortage of them in the Yorkshire Dales: 

  • Stainforth Foss/Force: a picturesque waterfall where Atlantic salmon gather each Autumn and leap the falls on their way upstream to spawn
  • Janet’s Foss: a small and pretty waterfall near Malham 
  • Ingleton waterfalls: a trail takes in a series of lovely waterfalls 
  • Catrigg Force: a hidden gem located in a small wooded copse one mile upstream from Stainforth village.
  • Force Gill Waterfall: an often overlooked beautiful 6 metre waterfall just a short detour from the Three Peaks route between Ribblehead Viaduct and Whernside.
  • Aysgarth Falls and Cotter Force in Wensleydale both of which can be seen using easy access footpaths.
  • Hardraw Force: the longest single drop waterfall in England: pay at the Green Dragon pub
  • Cautley Spout in the Howgills
  • Linton and West Burton falls
