Scow Force

Scow Force

Follow the course of the River Dee along Dentdale and you will discover many small  but pretty falls just at the road side. 
Further along the road, look out for the Red Post Box stood on its own, just opposite the is a gap in the wall where it is possible to climb down to the top of the main falls and wade across if not too deep or in full flow- caution, the rock can be slippy!

Parking along the roadside is difficult as the roads are narrow and there are not many places to park safely. 

Scow Force has the benefit of being close to Deeside House Hostel so it may be possible to park there, but please don't block access!  

The Falls are situated between the falls at Denthead Viauct and Artengill Viaduct so can be visited at the same time.

The Red Post Box can be seen through the trees

The gap in the wall just hidden by the top Right branches!

Arten Gill Force

Arten Gill Force

Near the small hamlet of Stone House in Dentdale, towers the impressive viaduct of Arten Gill. Through the centre of the arches tumbles the gill itself.

Small Steps

Starting in small steps it then powers over 2 steep drops before heading down to meet the river Dee. 

Park in the layby at the side of the narrow Stone House Bridge. Take the track uphill for a distance of 500m (approx) until you reach the viaduct. Access to the falls is difficult as it is very steep. About half way up the track there is a gate on the right, into a field from which the bottom of the falls can be reached - WITH CARE! 

The land is private so ask permission beforehand!
