Elterwater Waterfalls Walk

About trip

Waterfalls are always fascinating attractions and this easy going Lake District walk visits two very different cascading forces, small compact Skelwith Force and the larger multi spouted Colwith Force. Coupled with a pleasant walk past shallow Elter Water and a brief fell climb to High Hacket this delightful circular has it all without being too challenging. As the walk never rises above 200 metres it is a perfect option for walking in the Lakes when the weather closes in. Also the waterfalls are at their best after rain so pick a time to walk just after a low pressure belt has passed over the area. You will then definitely know when you are nearing one of the falls after rain for you will hear them from some distance. This is a memorable walk and one I will certainly do again.
