Witton Fell Taken by the River Ure, this looks south west to Witton Fell. The summit is now well smothered by a plantation - for me, though it marks the entrance of Wensleydale proper.

Deep Gill Force is a stunning waterfall located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. This natural wonder is a popular attraction for nature enthusiasts and hikers, offering a picturesque setting and a tranquil atmosphere.

The waterfall is situated in a secluded valley, surrounded by lush greenery and towering cliffs, which adds to its charm and beauty. It is fed by the Deep Gill Beck, a small stream that cascades down a series of rocky ledges, resulting in a series of breathtaking waterfalls. The main drop of the waterfall is approximately 30 feet, creating a powerful and mesmerizing display of cascading water.

Access to Deep Gill Force is relatively easy, with a well-maintained footpath leading visitors through the enchanting woodland. Along the way, hikers can enjoy the sights and sounds of the surrounding nature, including diverse flora and fauna. The path also offers several viewpoints that allow visitors to appreciate the waterfall from different angles, capturing its raw magnificence.

The waterfall is particularly impressive after heavy rainfall when the water flow is at its peak, creating a thunderous sound and a dramatic spectacle. However, even during drier periods, Deep Gill Force remains a captivating sight and a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Overall, Deep Gill Force is a must-visit destination for those seeking natural beauty and serenity. Its idyllic setting, combined with the powerful display of cascading water, makes it a truly unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
