Uldale Force
Uldale Force
Uldale Force is a waterfall on the River Rawthey, tucked into a secluded valley within the Yorkshire Dales National Park near Sedbergh, Cumbria.
Set in the hinterland of Baugh Fell, it is one of the more remote major waterfalls in the region, surrounded by open moorland and accompanied by a series of smaller falls along the beck.
The most straightforward approach begins at Rawthey Bridge, from where walkers follow the river upstream for roughly three kilometres. The route passes through a narrow limestone gorge with views of the Howgill Fells in the distance.
Despite a reputation for being hard to find, the falls are reachable without difficulty by keeping close to the river.
The waterfall has attracted wider attention after featuring on television as a wild swimming destination, and it has also been highlighted on the BBC's Secret Britain .
