Aira Force is possibly the most visited waterfall in the Lake District - certainly, it is one of the easiest to get to! A footpath from the National Trust parking lot off the A592 leads through lovely woodland in a circular path to Aira Force and High Force, a pair of cascades totalling 65 feet in height. Footbridges lead across the Aira above and below the falls, allowing some excellent views - mind the spray! Paths lead beyond the falls to Yew Crag.

A lovely waterfall that has been a popular Lake District destination for centuries. Rydal Falls is within a short stroll of William Wordsworth's home at Rydal Mount, and the poet was a frequent visitor to the falls. Rydal Falls is located in beautiful woodlands, with permissive paths leading to Ambleside. Wear good waterproof footwear, for the approach to the falls can be wet and is often slippery.

The tallest waterfall in the Lake District, located beside Crummock Water on land owned by the National Trust. Access is via an easy walk from Buttermere village. This was one of the required sites to see in Victorian times, and launches ran regularly across Crummock Water to take Victorian sightseers to within a short walk of the falls. Today's visitors get to ride shanks mare from Buttermere, but the falls are well worth the exertion!

A lovely waterfall close to the Ambleside - Coniston road, yet visited by few. The walk to Skelwith Force is an easy stroll through beautiful Lake District scenery. A walk to the falls can easily be combined with a longer stroll to Elter Water or beyond into the heart of the stunning Great Langdale valley.

One of the lesser-known waterfalls in the Lake District National Park, Spout Force is found in a forest area at the western end of the Whinlatter Pass. A path leads through the forest and nearby fields to a platform giving good views of the falls. The best time to see the waterfall is probably in spring when the sheer volume of water going over the falls is very impressive - and noisy!

Stanley Ghyll Force is a lovely waterfall of about 60 foot in height, located in a steep-sided ravine in the centre of beautiful Eskdale. The walk to the falls is as impressive as the falls itself, with the path following the course of Stanley Ghyll up the hillside, across several wooden footbridges over the tumbling water below. One of our favourite Lake District walks.

One of the most visited of the Lake District waterfalls, Stock Ghyll can be easily reached on foot from Ambleside village. Allow 10-15 minutes for the walk up a waymarked path, through lovely woodland to a viewpoint. For an even better view, you can descend to the base of the falls and cross over the beck to the far side. The water drops 70 feet in two distinct steps, and on the way, it creates a lovely 'V' shape.
