Pecca Falls

Pecca Falls is a series of five waterfalls on the River Twiss in the Yorkshire Dales, near the village of Ingleton in North Yorkshire, England.

Rather than a single cascade, the falls drop in rapid succession over sandstone and slate steps, descending a total of around 30 metres (98 feet). The water is often tinged brown from the surrounding peat moorland.

The falls are one of the highlights of the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, a circular 7-kilometre (4. 3-mile) route first opened to the public in April 1885.

Walkers typically encounter Pecca Falls early in the route along the River Twiss, before continuing upstream past Hollybush Spout and on to the larger Thornton Force.

The gorge surrounding the falls is lined with oak, ash, birch, and hazel trees, with ferns and grasses covering the steep rocky banks.
