Kisdon Force
Two stepped falls where the River Swale tumbles through a wooded gorge below the village of Keld, at the point where the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast path meet.
Kisdon Force lies near the village of Keld at the head of Swaledale, where the River Swale drops in two successive steps through a deep wooded gorge. It is the most beautiful waterfall in Swaledale. From the Keld car park it is about a 15-minute walk, though the final stretch down to the riverside path is steep and slippery. Keld is where the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast Walk, which crosses England from coast to coast, meet. Nearby smaller falls include East Gill Force and Catrake Force. Admission is free, and the falls can be combined with Muker village for a half-day walk.
