If you are climbing Whernside, you will not regret following the path alongside Force Gill. Not only will you beat the crowds following the main route, but you also have the opportunity to view Low Force and High Force waterfalls up close. Low Force, despite its name, has a higher drop than High Force. Be sure to make a short detour from the path to view this magnificent spectacle.

Force Gill, or Low Force Waterfall is just off the main path going up to Whernside. A little side trail takes you right into the tiny, gorgeous amphitheatre that hosts this beautiful 15-meter/50-foot waterfall. It is also not that far from Ribblehead Viaduct, so it is a really great family-friendly walk to get to it. It is a beautiful setting and makes for a great rest stop.
