Hud's Force & Little Hud's Force 

(at Cowgill)

I must admit that I am not quite sure which is which. Having tried to find these by walking along the road, they are somewhat hidden from view by the trees at the side of the road.  

Parking, as with Dockra Bridge, is difficult - there is room for one car just by the cottage  (See marker post!) or park at Lea Yate (SD 760869) or for a longer walk, at the lay-by just before Ibbeth Peril. (SD 742 864)

Room on the left just past this cottage

Look for the Marker

Dockra Bridge

 Dockra Bridge at Cowgill

Along the course of the River Dee in Dentdale, there are several falls of interest, this one, however, is on Cowgill beck which feeds into the Dee. 

Parking is difficult along this route due to the narrow roads, but it is possible to park at Lea Yate (SD 760 869), by the telephone box but this will add another 450m onto your walk.

Park where indicated and walk along the road towards St John's Church. Just before you reach it there is a lane on the right. Walk up this lane to the end, turning left over the bridge there. The track then turns right, so follow this for another 130m. As the track bears left, there is a gate into a field Go through this gate and across the field. Exit the gate at the other side then turn right to the stream.
