Easedale Valley Waterfall

Easedale is a beautiful valley to the northwest of Grasmere village. It's surrounded by many characterful little fells and ridges that slowly gain height towards the greater masses of High Raise and the Langdale Pikes to the west. Nestled beneath Tarn Crag and Blea Rigg is the gorgeous Easedale Tarn, one of the Lake District's most wonderful wild swimming spots.

This valley is very rich in water. The paths in the valley are almost all rivers.

The waterfall is called Sour Milk Ghyll. Yesterday it was the fullest I have ever seen it. Fabulous.
But also the side streams on the walk were remarkably wild and high, and I had to wade through one thigh deep because stepping from stone to stone when there was a lot of water flowing over them was too risky at my age. I think the "Fix the Fells" people are building a bridge though, and the slabs through the boggy parts are making it much easier.
