Swinner Gill Kirk is a dramatic natural feature located in Swinner Gill, Swaledale, accessible by walking up the gill from the valley floor.

The site takes its name from its reputed history as a clandestine place of worship during times of religious intolerance.

The Kirk sits along Hind Hole Beck, where the geology shifts between rock types and limestone sections cause the water to disappear underground in places.

A cave at the Kirk can be explored for roughly 50 yards, though a torch is essential and low headroom should be expected. The surrounding gill shows extensive evidence of historic lead mining activity, with visible lead deposits in the streambed.

The beck above the Kirk continues uphill past numerous small waterfalls and cascades, with old exploratory mine entrances visible along the way.
