Around Thwaite

Around Thwaite

If you're heading further up Swaledale towards Keld and all the waterfalls around there, you will pass through the small village of Thwaite. 

There are a few waterfalls along Thwaite beck which are worth a visit and quite easy to get to. 

It is easier to park in the Lay-by just before you enter the village as parking in the village is limited.

For No's 1 & 3, just follow the pathways, 
No' 2 can be accessed between the houses, but this is private property so please ask permission!

Cliff Beck aka Scarr House Falls

Cliff Beck aka Scarr House Falls

A small but easy to reach waterfall. 

Park in the lay-by on the B6270, just before Thwaite (after the Cliff Gate Road Junc) walk back towards Muker for approx 250m . 

Opposite the first barn there is a small opening in the wall, go through then through the gate in front of you. the waterfall is on your right.

This is Private Land but there is an Honesty box by the gate - A couple of shillings helps keep the owners happy. I'm told they keep an eye on all visitors!
