Rainby Force

Rainby Force

Another one of the many falls on the River Swale around Keld. Slightly lesser known, as its hidden away behind Park House, , "A luxury Bunkbarn in Keld, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales". (See their websites "Keld Bunk Barn" and "Swaledale Yurts" )

Park at the entrance to the campsite and follow the drive to the House. You will see a sign on the gate that says "Please Ring the Bell". Its only courtesy to let them know you are there. Having spoken to the owner, Michelle, she assures me that they don't have a problem with photographers visiting the falls. Venture through the second gate and down to the falls via the purpose built steps which they have recently installed - but be careful at the bottom!

"Please Ring the Bell!"

Another of the "Keld" Waterfalls, Currack Force requires a bit of an uphill walk. Venture past the turn off to Keld Hamlet, and park just after the right turn to Tan Hill. Walk back to the junction and walk uphill to the 2nd hairpin, Then take the track down hill. At the stone wall turn right and keeping this wall on your left, continue down to the falls. Total distance approx 500m
