England's highest (above ground) unbroken waterfall set in 15 acres of woodland. Entrance behind the Green Dragon Inn car park via the Heritage Centre and tearoom. A short level ten minute walk to the waterfall with three wooden footbridges and a twenty minute circular walk around the horseshoe upper lip leading to a final bridge overlooking the fall. Please be aware owing to the location at the head of the dale and the distance from the source of the spring, the waterfall is best viewed after reasonable rainfall. We do make a charge for entry which reflects the cost of operating and upkeep but we offer discounts for OAPs, families and locals. We also have to restrict access on certain areas owing the Councils Health and Safety regulations.
Visited the waterfall during my stay at The Green Dragon Inn. A well maintained, clean and relaxing walk to the waterfall. You can tell they take pride in their maintenance of the place. There is a little cafe where you walk through and pay a fee of PS4 per person to see the waterfall. You will receive a map showing you the different routes you can take to see the waterfall. We did both during our time here! Overall, we spent around 45 minutes at the waterfall. Highly recommend visiting if you are passing by or in Hardraw. However, parking is VERY limited and you'll probably have to park outside the front of The Green Dragon Inn and then walk to the entrance of the attraction. The car park is shared with the pub as well as walkers to the waterfall. It was windy when we visited so I would suggest taking a coat and probably wearing sensible shoes as the higher path is uneven and steep, but worth the climb! Either way, I highly recommend it to anyone!
Tucked away behind the Green Dragon Inn, this waterfall is well worth a visit. The pathways are well maintained, as is the whole surround. Well worth the PS4 entrance fee. The lower walk is on gravel paths, but the high walk has steep steps and flag stones. The free, provided map shows all pathways. Stunning views are available from points along all the walks.
A lovely waterfall with a few different walks round the area. One path leads you up and over the waterfall (it can be quite steep in places) but rewarding once you get to the top! Another path leads you round the bottom of the waterfall with some bridges crossing over the stream on the way round. It's well maintained and definitely worth the PS4p/p entry fee. We walked up and over, then back down and round to the waterfall and it took about 40 mins (observing the waterfall and sights included) I cannot really comment on the car park as we were staying at The Green Dragon Inn, and it shares the same car park (as the waterfall) - which has limited spaces and can get quite busy. I believe the alternative is parking on the road (with not a lot of room to do so). It's a lovely 30min walk from Hawes if you choose to do so. (Which parking is available at).
Little gem tucked away behind the green dragon pub. PS4 each for entry. Yellow walk straight to the waterfall and green walk taken you up and around it. Nice surroundings well kept.
We were slightly put out by the PS4 payment each to begin with, but loved our early evening May visit in glorious sunshine. The whole area is beautifully kept, easy gravel paths up to the falls, and some lovely play and picnic areas. All very safe. Well worth a visit!
A beautifully well kept waterfall. The grounds are lovely and the walk to the waterfall is on well maintained path way with footbridges to cross along the way. We thought the PS4 entrance fee was good value as you can tell there is a lot of care taken of the area to keep it so nice. There is a lovely tearoom and toilets on site too.
