Docker Force

Docker Force is a 5-metre waterfall on Birk Beck, located on the Shap Fells in Cumbria. It marks a notable point along the beck where Stakeley Beck and Eskew Beck join from the Birkbeck Fells, a stretch of common land lying between the A6, M6 and Bretherdale.

The fall has been noted as more dramatic than much of the upper Lune catchment, with one account observing that Birk Beck outperforms the Lune itself up to that point.

Access to Docker Force can be elusive, as clear paths to the waterfall are difficult to identify on the ground, and at least one walking party has reported searching at length without success in reaching it.
