Denthead Falls

Denthead Falls


Follow the Road (B6255) from Ribblehead to Hawes and take the turning left toward Dentdale. 
The next viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle is Denthead. 
Park underneath the Viaduct. 
Walk through the arches towards a small pack horse bridge. Cross this bridge and return with the beck passing alongside underneath the road. 

Cross the Pack Horse Bridge



A series of drops can be carefully reached - (depending on water levels) until the beck meets the Dee.

Lumb Falls

Lumb Falls

Just to the north of the Pennine town of Hebden Bridge, past the hamlet of Pecket Well, deep in the valley, lies Lumb Falls. Easy to reach by car but a steep walk down the cobbled path to the falls themselves.Take care in the wet! 
 Drive through Pecket Well and take the lane on the left (Old Road), drive for approx 900m to the layby. There is a sign post at the road side. 
Once at the bottom, cross the old Pack Horse bridge. The base of the falls can be reached - with care - when wet.
Room for 2 cars

Follow the Path downhill

Cobbled Path down

Looking back up!
