Hiking
Just north of Hawsett, there is a pretty cool ford on Carlesmoor Beck, with a little waterfall cascading down just below the ford. This is just below the confluence of Fortress Dyke and Wandley Gill, which gives the stream more speed and energy.
It is cool, but after more rain, the water might be deep enough for you to need to take off your boots and cross barefoot.

Hiking
Very nice place for a pit-stop. The little waterfall created by the drop in the beck bed is unusual, most fords on the Nidderdale moors are flat and featureless crossings.
