With a 15-foot (4.5 m) drop, East Gill Force is an impressive waterfall in a stunning location. Below the main falls is a smaller waterfall that cascades downstream. As the waterfalls are at the point where the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast Walk intersect, you'll likely see a few fellow hikers.

East Gill Force is immediately below East Gill Bridge, on the Pennine Way just after it crosses the River Swale. A great picnic spot. Just below the main waterfall there is a smaller waterfall, as the gill meets the Swale, which is also worth a look.
