Whitewater Dash — also known as Dash Falls — is a dramatic waterfall tucked into the northern fells of the Lake District, on the slopes of Great Calva at the head of the Dash Valley.

Rather than a single sheer drop, the falls take the form of a series of steep cascades totalling 246 feet, tumbling down to the valley floor along Dash Beck. Wainwright rated them first in the Lake District for their succession of falls.

The waterfall sits in a quieter corner of the fells, nestled between the Uldale fells and the back of Skiddaw, and sees considerably less foot traffic than many Lake District highlights.

Access is straightforward: from the A591 along the east side of Bassenthwaite Lake, turn right at Orthwaite and park near Peter House Farm. A road that becomes a track leads to the falls, with a round walk of approximately five miles.

The Cumbria Way passes the falls and continues onward toward Skiddaw House.
