Kisdon Force, Dual waterfall in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England
Kisdon Force drops 10 meters over two cascades surrounded by mixed broad-leaved woodland with ash, wych elm, and rowan trees along the River Swale.
The name Force originates from the Norse word 'fors' or 'foss', reflecting the historical Nordic influence in Yorkshire Dales during medieval settlement periods.
The waterfall forms part of the Pennine Way walking route, connecting visitors with traditional Yorkshire Dales landscapes and local farming communities.
A riverside path from Keld village leads to the falls, with parking available at Keld Car Park for £3 per day using an honesty box system.
The falls consist of two sections rated for kayaking: Upper Force at Grade IV difficulty and Lower Force at Grade V, requiring advanced water navigation skills.
