Galleny Force is a small but enchanting waterfall on Stonethwaite Beck in the Borrowdale Valley of the Lake District, easily reached on foot from the village of Stonethwaite.

The beck is formed just upstream at the confluence of Langstrath Beck and Greenup Gill beneath Eagle Crag, and flows northwest through the falls toward Rosthwaite.

Also known as the Fairy Glen, the waterfall sits within a wooded gorge of trees and ferns that gives it a secluded, almost otherworldly atmosphere.

A collection of shallow pools and small cascades surrounds the main drop, with further pools both upstream and downstream.

The clear, calm water makes it a popular spot for wild swimming and paddling, and the rocky banks offer easy places to rest and take in the scenery.
