Ashgill Force, Waterfall in Alston Moor, England
Located in the North Pennines, Ashgill Force cascades down 55 feet over a rocky shelf, creating multiple water streams across stone formations.
The waterfall area stands near former lead mining sites that supported the economic development of Alston Moor during the industrial period.
Local residents of Alston Moor maintain traditions through community events that celebrate the natural features of the North Pennines landscape.
The waterfall is accessible via marked trails from the B6277 road or through a path from Garrigill village, requiring sturdy footwear for the walk.
Visitors can stand on a natural shelf formation behind the falling water, offering an unusual perspective of the cascade from the inside.
