Tom Ghyll (or Gill) is a fast flowing stream with two spectacular waterfalls. There is a path along it up to Tarn Hows. Or if you leave Tarn Hows down to Glen Mary car park.

Colwith Force is a stunning waterfall on the River Brathay that drops roughly 40 feet (12 m) in several stages. The falls are in a very picturesque woodland setting and are close to another waterfall, Skelwith Force.
