Heugh Gill Falls
If you like rambling or walking, then take in these charming cascades as part of you walk. There are plenty of walks on Eastby Moor and nearby Embsay Crag.
A specific trip to see these is not advised unless you need to, as I did.
The falls tumble down from Eastby Moor nr Embsay, (Famous for the "Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway") which lies just outside the Market Town of Skipton - on the doorstep to the Yorkshire Dales.
Park on Barden Road in Eastby and make your way to Hunters Croft,(a small cul-de-sac). Here you will see a signpost to Eastby Moor. At the rear of the croft is an old sunken sledge track which takes you up to the moor, cross the stiles as you work you way up. After the 3rd stile you are immediately faced with a waymarked ladder stile and a gate on your right.
Ignore these and turn left, through a wide gap in the wall.
Make your way gingerly down the steep sides of Heugh Gill to the falls, Some scrambling is required to gain access to the higher ones.

A good steady climb as Andy as indicated, the falls are not big, but worth a visit.
