Hardraw Force

£4 each to access the falls but includes a guide to the history of the place - easy level access to the falls or for the more energetic a steep climb around the top of the gorge with lovely views to the Simonstone hotel ( our first Hawkstone on draft!!) and across the valley! Cafe and Loos on site but shared access with the pub for parking which meant there wasn’t any space! Glad we went on a Friday in January!!

The lady at the turn style wasn't very welcoming. Make sure that you bring cash only, otherwise she might be able to get a broomstick out, and whack you with it. I understand that she is passionate about this waterfall, but it appears that we are not the only ones to experience her rudeness. Might be something worth addressing! At the time of writing, the entrance fee is £4 each. On a positive note! Once you pass that initial barrier... The grounds are stunning (even in winter). I would imagine that it's amazing in summer. Two types of walk around the waterfall! A more challenging yellow route, or an easy green route. The waterfall was actually quite disappointing, to say that it's the highest in England. But I would imagine that it would make a lovely picnic area in the summer. Good points.... Well maintained, historic land mark. Bad points..... The troll at the gate

My partner and I went car camping near by and he wanted to go to Hardraw Force as he’s never been before. I use to go every summer when my family camped near by and I’ve always loved going! He absolutely loved it! We went mid morning on a Saturday and I’d wasn’t busy! We did pay £8 for the both of us to go in. It was nice to take the dog too!

Beautiful hideaway yet accessible. It’s an hour just outside Durham. Fantastic for a day trip. £4 entrance fee- note that cash is the preferred payment method. 10 min walk from entrance to the waterfall itself. Hiking boots not required Take a book or a sandwich and chill out listening to the sound of the water 🧘‍♀️

The highest single drop falls in England of 100 feet looks spectacular, even in this summer drought. As a bonus, the road back to the motorway, the A684, is a stunning stretch of countryside road that gives a fantastic view of the Howgill hills. Hardraw Force is a stunning waterfall situated just off the A684, which runs along the length of Wensleydale, a truly beautiful stretch of English countryside. It sits in an estate behind the Green Dragon pub, a handy satnav setting, and costs £4 at time of writing. They prefer cash. There are also full toilet facilities and a cafe. Parking is restricted, about 12-15 spaces but there is also off road parking by the Old School House. The path is firm and wide and suitable for all visitors and only about half a mile long. There are plenty of benches and tables to sit and picnic and a variety of trails around the rest of the estate. Many waterfalls are difficult to get to but Hardraw is totally accessible and stunning to see.

We didn't know before we visited that this is a privately owned waterfall and grounds and the task of keeping this going and the upkeep must be phenomenal to the standard that it is and breaking it up into 3 different routes for visitors is excellent 👏 and throw in the coffee ☕️ shop and visitors centre it's ideal 👏. Better still there is a pub at the entrance 😀 and a beautiful church ⛪️ next door to visit at the same time ⏲️.

Beautiful single-drop waterfall- you can't capture its size or beauty on camera. You can mark at the attraction, or a few miles away if you want to follow one of the many of the circular walks which include this stop. There are also some ruins of ancient buildings, and a beautiful river to see within the ticketed area. At the base of the waterfall is a deep, clear pool where you can wild swim. This is a great stop for the whole family! There is a short walk to the falls from the entrance, or a longer walk (around 2km total) which goes up to the top of the waterfall and back down. If you start by following the right-hand entrance, there are newly built stairs to the top. The other side features a natural stone "staircase" which is very steep and unstable in places, although there are safety barriers. 🎟️ You do have to pay to get in as the land is privately owned and maintained but this is well worth it as the place is stunning with no litter. It is only £4 per person and you can pay cash, card, or contactless. All of the paths, stairs, and bridges are in excellent condition. There is a small cafe when you enter/ exit and everything is reasonably priced with friendly staff! 🦮✅ Dog friendly! The waterfall, forest, and cafe are all dog friendly.

45 mins to walk both routes. Nowhere really to sit near the waterfall so can't really spend much time at it. Nice to see but would only go back after a downpour however I feel they would close access if there was. No access without jumping privately owned walls or fences. Didn't want to but a drink or cake as we had to pay for access.
