Rutter Force Waterfall

Highlight • Historical Site

An impressive waterfall on Hoff Beck, just upstream of an old mill (now self-catering accommodation). The mill was made for grinding corn, then converted to manufacture bobbins and finally a sawmill.
It's easily visible from the bridge.

Easy walk, virtually all along the road with no footpath so not great with dog. No cafe or anything there so a little disappointed.
