Tips

March 2, 2024

Hiking

An awe-inspiring place. The walk in across the bottom of the dale is easy with constant views and the rumbling of the looming waterfall. Climbing the path alongside the cascade is recommended, although it becomes very steep on the rough stone steps. From here, you can continue to the top of The Calf, the highest point in the area.

As the crow flies

Hiking

Come in the afternoon, early eve when you’re more likely to get a park on the lay-by. Our 3 year old managed this walk, but just to the base as it is a steep climb to the top which is more suited to experienced walkers with good balance.

Hiking

Cautley Spout waterfall is reported to have the highest drop in England at 180m. It's certainly spectacular!
