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.

Hiking

If you have mobility issues or just fancy something a little less strenuous Tarn Hows is a lovely walk. Sadly the woodland has been damaged by the storms with a lot of trees being uprooted. Don’t for forget to visit Tom Gill Falls but the path is uneven here so not suitable for prams/wheelchairs are those who are unsteady of their feet
