Whitfield Gill Force
Whitfield Gill Force is in The Yorkshire Dales National Park in England.
Whitfield Gill Force is a decent enough waterfall on the Whitfield Beck above Askrigg with a couple of footpaths nearby but it’s best viewed from the stream bed, which can be difficult to reach except from further downstream where there is a much smaller waterfall. The waterfall at Whitfield Gill is mostly hidden by trees from the paths on the East side of the river.
Landslips in recent years have caused problems with footpaths above the river around here so a bit of river-walking might be needed.
