Cumbria's Highest Waterfall

Encouraged by our previous endeavours, we decided to take a trip to Scale Force, which is the Lake District’s highest waterfall. It originally started as a group day out but when we researched the route a bit more it would be a two-hour round trip. We were also running against the clock as we’d booked onto a brewery tour for the afternoon. So we packed Mater and headed off to a National Trust car park just outside a local pub in Buttermere with stunning scenery. We had to keep an eye out for our footpath heading west up the hill; for some reason they don’t like to signpost these attractions so you have to work out their location on their own. After crossing a beck we headed round a hill until we came to two cliffs. It was very difficult to see from afar but we could hear running water and found it after heading through a kissing gate.
