One of the most impressive waterfalls in this area, the Grey Mare's Tail descends around 40ft into the gorge below. One of the few Via Ferrata's in the UK is situated here, but note that it can only be used under instruction from the owners.

Nice walk, but occasionally slippery and paths uphill with many boulders

The waterfall isn't far from the Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall parking lot, and the trail is manageable. However, the climb to the summit isn't "easy." It requires good fitness and absolute surefootedness. The trail is full of scree and can only be negotiated with short scrambles here and there. I'm 46 and generally fit. However, after the descent, I can definitely feel my back and knees hurting. Personally, I would classify the circular trail as "moderately difficult."
