Clough Force

Clough Force is a waterfall on the Clough River, located near Garsdale Head in Cumbria, North West England.

The Clough River rises in Grisedale, where streams draining Grisedale Pike converge, and the young river passes over a waterfall early in its course before flowing westward to join the River Rawthey.

Access to Clough Force is limited, with visitors able to view the falls only from a distance without venturing onto private land.

The waterfall can be spotted by following a wall toward a wooden power pylon and bearing left toward a gate, though getting close requires care to avoid trespassing.
