Tips

Stainforth Force is a wonderful waterfall on the River Ribble in one of the Dales' most popular beauty spots. While it can get busy during peak times (bank holidays, sunny weekends, etc.), at other times of the year you often have it all to yourself. If you happen to be here during autumn, look out for salmon leaping up the falls on their way to their spawning grounds.

Quite a small waterfall on the River Ribble and very busy when we visited in August. All the same a beautiful spot along with Stainforth Bridge a bit further up river.
