Scaleclose Force
Scaleclose Force
Scaleclose Force is a waterfall tucked away at the end of the Borrowdale Valley in the Lake District. Hidden among woodland on the fellside, it sits on Scaleclose Gill and is reached via a short walk beginning at the village of Seatoller.
The surrounding trees can obscure the falls, making it a somewhat secretive spot that reveals itself best when the foliage is thin. It is often combined with a visit to the nearby High Doat viewpoint.
