This easy 3.6-mile (5.7 km) loop from Askrigg takes you through classic Yorkshire Dales countryside to two magnificent waterfalls. You'll gain about 432 feet (132 metres) over 1 hour and 37 minutes, passing through bluebell-cloaked woodlands in spring or vibrant autumnal colors later in the year. The path to Mill Gill Force is well-defined, but expect uneven, muddy sections, especially after rain, and some steep climbs towards Whitfield Gill Force. You might also encounter unique 'Wensleydale stiles' along the way, adding to the adventure. Enjoy glorious views across Wensleydale as you hike.
Rated easy, this hike is suitable for families, though good waterproof footwear is highly recommended due to potentially muddy conditions. While the path to Mill Gill Force is straightforward, getting up close to Whitfield Gill Force can be more demanding with uneven, slippery sections and steep drops. However, you can still enjoy Whitfield Gill Force from a distance on the return path without tackling the trickier sections. The picturesque village of Askrigg serves as a charming starting and end point for your adventure.
The primary draw of this trail is undoubtedly the chance to visit two spectacular waterfalls within a relatively short and accessible walk. Mill Gill Force offers a 'wow factor,' especially after recent rains when the falls are in full flow, while Whitfield Gill Force provides a secluded, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. The trail also offers opportunities to find fossils near Whitfield Gill, and Askrigg itself is notable as the setting for 'Darrowby' in the original 'All Creatures Great and Small' television series.
