Skelwith Force is one of the smaller waterfalls in the Lake District but is still impressive. You can walk up a boardwalk to a viewpoint on large rocks.

One of the smaller Lake District waterfalls, Skelwith Force is also one of the easiest to reach. However, it remains largely unknown to most visitors and is therefore little visited. As such, you can often enjoy it in relative solitude.
