Hiking

Stickle Ghyll is one of the most popular locations for Ghyll Scrambling/Gorge Walking in the Lake District. There is over 2 kilometres to explore, with pools to wade through, waterfalls to climb and a number of deep pools - one of which is deep enough to jump into.

Hiking

Beautiful to walk along these water features both ascending and descending. Even though it is sometimes difficult to walk in both directions.
