Wain Wath Force — Attraction in Great Britain

This review is written from the point of view of a parent with 2 and 4 year old boys who love adventures.

This waterfall is the perfect spot for a little family adventure. If you've come from the other side of Buttertubs Pass (with a quick stop at the top to see the "butter tubs"), the drive to get there is stunning, if a little scary for those who don't like heights.

The waterfall is in a beautifully picturesque setting. It's obviously a popular spot for wildlife photography, as there were a fair few photographers there when we arrived.

There is good access down to the edge of the river via some steps. Although not fully accessible, those with mobility issues can still get a good view of the falls from the road. You don't even really need to get out of your car!

But for those who like adventure, as my boys (and there Mummy and I) do, you can get right down next to the water and walk along. Also, we were there in a fairly dry season so we could walk right out on the riverbed stones which was great fun. I would imagine this would not be possible if you visited after a season of lots of rain. But I guess you'd get a more powerful waterfall to watch.

We'd bought sweets from a sweet shop in Hawes so sat on some big riverbed rocks and ate them as the water trickled around us. It's a great place to stop and have a picnic and there are loads of natural features and scenic photo opportunities.

In summary, this is not the biggest waterfall in the area, but doesn't cost you anything to access and is right next to the road, so perfect for young children who love adventures but can't...

stunning scenery of our North Yorkshire natural treasures, these falls comprise of easily above 5+ falls (I've not witnessed any on such a scall as high force) however these roaming falls are equally as stunning.. all created along the early stages of the river swale during its plunging trip throughout the valleys of swaledale. Again these valleys have equally stunning sights further falls along the road side "easily visible for all" (just be careful due to the roads being pretty narrow... locals are always happy & cheerful) I've captured only 1 of the falls with palns to venture back when theres better light & maybe abit warmer for the nose, ears & fingers "-1 isn't to pretty to sit motionless holding the camera to try to avoid motion blurr "Yes I forgot my tri-pod"

a safety note!!! if your at a sensible age, playing around these falls please be very careful & take serious precautions. don't venture into water you cant clearly see the bottom, the water is fast moving (this time of year VERY VERY cold 28.11.2017) some falls along this route do have deep pools at the base, still with cold water... serious note someone has died earlier in the year after jumping into a pool from one of the falls..

anyway, this is a great place to bring the family & relax... you can camp in a local site (prices I'm not aware of but you can find them on local listings etc) local villages themselves look great if not from another world... hope you enjoy my currently limited set...
