East Gill Force (upper)
East Gill Force (upper) is a waterfall on East Gill in Swaledale, located about 330 yards east of the hamlet of Keld in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire. The upper drop stands at approximately 15 feet (4.
5 m), making it the more dramatic of the two sections of East Gill Force. It sits just above the point where East Gill meets the River Swale, where the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast Walk intersect.
Despite its modest scale, the upper fall is noted for its attractive appearance, fine mist, and the soothing sound of rushing water. It is one of four waterfalls in the Keld area, alongside Kisdon Force, Catrake Force, and Wain Wath Force.
A well-maintained footpath from Keld leads directly to the falls, making it accessible to long-distance walkers and day visitors alike.
