Trollers Gill is a narrow limestone gorge in the Yorkshire Dales, near the village of Appletreewick in North Yorkshire. It has a mysterious reputation tied to local folklore. 🥾A great adventure for those who enjoy off-the-beaten-path routes and perfect introduction to Ghyll scrambling. 📜 The gorge is said to be haunted by trolls, hence its name. According to legend, it is home to a fearsome barghest—a supernatural black dog with glowing red eyes, often associated with death and misfortune. Some stories also link the ghyll to mythical goblins and other eerie creatures, adding to its reputation as a place of mystery. 🪨 The gorge is cut into limestone, featuring rocky outcrops, scree slopes, and a sometimes dry streambed. It was likely formed by glacial meltwater, carving out the dramatic landscape seen today. The ghyll can be dry for much of the year, but after heavy rain, water flows through the valley.

Very slippery as you are walking on the dry (at the time of walking) stream bed - walking pole would be useful, otherwise take care of

The skyline above Settle makes for a tremendous day out for hikers. There is no central peak to go for, just a jagged collection of rocky high points that make for a really good walk, but you will find a trig point on Warrendale Knotts. You will find a lot of caves in the area too due to the terrain being dominated by limestone, and nearby Victoria Cave is the largest of these caves. All in all, Attermire Scar is an impressive geological feature.

Hull Pot is an amazing collapsed cavern that is now just an open limestone scar measuring 91 metres (300 feet) long by 18 metres (60 feet) deep. In dry weather, like today unfortunately, Hull Pot Beck goes underground before it gets to the rim, but in wet weather, it gives way overground to form a stunning waterfall. A stunning place to spend some time!

Bradford Potholing Club winch meet (annually in May). See https://www.bpc-cave.org.uk/wp/gg-winch-meet/ for details.

A great boulder scramble when there has been heavy rainfall. If you don't fancy it then a shirt detour can be made

Add to your route if there has been heavy rainfall so you can admire this natural beauty

Must see if in this area

Hull Pot, on the western side of Pen-y-Ghent, is a collapsed cavern, and an impressive hole measuring 91m (300ft) long by 18m (60ft) deep. In the late 18th century, in a guidebook published, it was called 'a Hulpit', and the author stated that it "would have appeared like the inside of an enormous old Gothic castle, the high ruinous walls of which were left standing after the roof was fallen in".

Specular limestone waterfall which is understandably popular and gets very busy. For the best experience, visit on a wet and blustery autumn or winter's day when not only will the waterfall be in full flow, but you might actually get to see it without all the 'wild swimming' instagrammers

Really dramatic scenery and an exhilarating scramble when the gill is full of water! Don't forget to take a peek in the cave on the right-hand side as you reach the top of the gill!

Arriving at a style gate, pass through and enter thick woodlands where you’ll be in earshot of Janet’s Foss — sounds guiding you to the final destination: a hidden waterfall and plunge pool hemmed in by trees that feels a million miles from the stress and strains of modern life.

A very pretty walk, so many different views and then leading into a forest where the fall is. A lovely easy walk on its own.

The grass sides can be particularly slippery in or after the rain. So be careful when approaching the edge. Although the pot is beautiful in the sun, it comes alive after heavy rain when natural waterfalls form.

Perfect for a dip! Deep enough to dive into when the water level is high (we saw someone do it!)

Stunning waterfall but very busy and lots of wild swimmers

watch you don't fall in

One of Britain’s largest underground chambers, Gaping Gill is a spectacular sight. Fell Beck plummets spectacularly into the chasm, to reappear some way down the hillside at Ingleborough Cave. Take care and don’t get too close, as there are no barriers guarding the entrance.

If you turn right as you are leaving Janet's Foss you can down over the Foss into the pool below.
