Clough Force

If you are in the vicinity of Garsdale Railway Station, on the Settle to Carlisle route, you may want to pay this one a visit. 
The only access and view point (without trespassing) is up through the moorland opposite the "Coal Road", (This is the road which takes you from the A684 to Garsdale Station, and eventually over the top to Dentdale). 
Park on this lane if possible or at the train station, and walk back down the hill to the main road. 
You will see the signpost at the side of the stile, however there is a gate a few meters further along. 
Go through either and follow the wall on the left, in a straight line towards the wooden Power pylon, here, head left toward the gate in the wall. 
Once through continue straight on. 
The pathway overlooks the falls and it is a steep and slippy climb down to the fence, which is as near as you will get.

  1. Shame there is no access, but one worth ticking off

  2. There may be a way past the white cottage. Next time I'm there, I'll have a look
