    Hiking

    Stickle Ghyll is one of the most popular locations for Ghyll Scrambling/Gorge Walking in the Lake District. There is over 2 kilometres to explore, with pools to wade through, waterfalls to climb and a number of deep pools - one of which is deep enough to jump into.

    Hiking

    Stickle Ghyll flows steeply down from Stickle Tarn to the Great Langdale Beck in the valley. It's a rocky ghyll with lots of waterfalls and pools, perfect for a paddle and picnic but also used for ghyll scrambling.
    The main path that follows the ghyll is a bit rocky with some big steps but it’s not climbing and suitable for all ages. Kids love the scramble and reaching the tarn at the top is a great target.
    The National Trust have a hydroelectric scheme about half way up the valley which provides the power needed to run the Sticklebarn pub.
