If you want to see some waterfalls, then Skipton and the surrounding area is a great place to start. The geology of this area in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is perfect; limestone, valleys, and the ‘odd bit of rain’. Waterfall walks are one of our favourite as a family. They are such a spectacular […]
Last weekend we stayed in the Lake District around Ullswater. Ullswater is in the north of the Lakes close to Penrith and Keswick. When we visit the Lakes we try and stay in one area to reduce the amount of travelling around. The roads are narrow and windy and sometimes even just a few miles […]
Location: LA6 3ET Distance: 5 miles Ingleton Waterfalls on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales is a fab family walk. One of the more challenging walks due to the length and the terrain but worth it! Waterfalls and more There are 8 main waterfalls around the route to see. The first 4 are on the […]

Between Christmas and New Year we were lucky enough to book an impromptu rare child free night away to the Lakes. At the time both areas were under Tier 2 covid restrictions which meant we could stay overnight. At the time it was totally amazing to get away under the circumstances but writing this currently […]

Ilkley is such a great town to visit. It is one of our go to places when we have some free time as there are shops, cafes, the park, Middleton Woods (best place around for bluebells), the river and of course the moors. This is probably the best moors around us locally, Ilkley Moor has […]
Location: Roadside parking, BD24 9LA Distance: 0.5km This is the shortest walk ever to such an impressive waterfall! Scaleber Force is on the tops above Settle, along the back road to Kirkby Malham, and is not one to miss. It is such a hidden gem as you would never know it was there. Parking on […]
Location: BD24 9QD Distance: 4km Catrigg Force is a fine example of a waterfall just above the village of Stainforth. It is hidden away so an exciting find.
