Clough Force

Clough Force

If you are in the vicinity of Garsdale Railway Station, on the Settle to Carlisle route, you may want to pay this one a visit. 

The only access and view point (without trespassing) is up through the moorland opposite the "Coal Road", (This is the road which takes you from the A684 to Garsdale Station, and eventually over the top to Dentdale). 

Park on this lane if possible or at the train station, and walk back down the hill to the main road. 

You will see the signpost at the side of the stile, however there is a gate a few meters further along. 

Go through either and follow the wall on the left, in a straight line towards the wooden Power pylon, here, head left toward the gate in the wall. 

Once through continue straight on. 

The pathway overlooks the falls and it is a steep and slippy climb down to the fence, which is as near as you will get.

Ure Force

Ure Force

Whilst you are in the vicinity of Cotter Force and Mossdale Beck Falls, Ure Falls is a "must see". 

2 wonderful falls cascade down either side of a lovely stone bridge surrounded by wonderful scenery. 

Continue along the A684 from Appersett until you get to the Moorcock Inn. Take the right turn onto the B6259. 

There is a lay-by on your left, or park in the Pub car park. 

Behind you is the Dandrymire Viaduct, on the Settle to Carlisle railway. 

Walk 25m past the pub car park until you come to a stile leading you to the footpath which tracks diagonally across the moorland towards Yore House. 

Alternatively continue a further 200m along the road until you come to the gated entrance to "Cobbles Hill", the access lane to Yore House. 

Either way both lead you to the stone bridge where the lower part of Ure Force cascades down. 

Look upstream to see the upper part.

Wonderful Scenery!

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.
