Stockghyll Force Waterfall

Stockghyll Force, about half a mile east of Ambleside town centre, is a waterfall in a series of cascades totalling 70 feet in height. Stock Ghyll divides into two channels at the top of the waterfall, and then into three, all of which are finally reunited. The falls are surrounded by woodland composed of mixed trees in which beech predominates; in spring many daffodils can be seen at the bottom. There is a railed viewpoint from which the waterfall can be seen. Stockghyll Force can be accessed from Ambleside by taking first Stockghyll Lane and then a well-signposted footpath.
