Whitfield Gill Force
Whitfield Gill Force
Whitfield Gill Force is a waterfall on Whitfield Gill, located above the village of Askrigg in Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales.
It sits roughly half a mile upstream from the better-known Mill Gill Force and is considered the more remote and inaccessible of the two, requiring more effort from walkers willing to seek it out.
One source describes it as "a shimmering veil of water" evoking fairy glades, in contrast to the tumbling rush of Mill Gill. The falls are typically visited as part of a circular walk from Askrigg, often combined with Mill Gill Force.
Note that the footpath directly to Whitfield Gill Force has not been maintained by the National Park, and at least one source advises against attempting it.
Glimpses of the waterfall may be had from the woodland path during winter and early spring when the leaf cover is thinner. Fossils have reportedly been found in the vicinity of the falls.
