Dungeon Ghyll Waterfall

Dungeon Ghyll Force is a striking waterfall tucked within a narrow, rocky ravine in the Langdale valley of the Lake District. The force cascades dramatically down the confined gorge, making it a memorable feature on the popular trail toward Stickle Tarn.

The viewpoint is reached roughly 1. 5 kilometres into the hike from the valley floor, with an elevation gain of around 150 metres. It offers a natural pause point for walkers, with the enclosed ravine framing the falling water and amplifying its sound.

Beyond the force, the path continues steeply upward through increasingly open and rugged terrain toward the high mountain tarn beneath Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle.
