Ashgill Force - tucked away near Garrigill, and well worth the clamber down.
It’s one of those waterfalls that feels properly hidden until you’re right on top of it. The burn drops over the limestone edge with the old bridge sitting above, giving the whole place that mix of Pennine grit, greenery and running water.
Did you know? Ashgill Force sits in an area shaped by both limestone geology and lead mining history, which is why this part of the North Pennines has so many sharp little scars, gills and industrial traces.
Northern Perspectives is about capturing real places across the North - from the big landmarks to the tucked-away spots that make the detour worthwhile.
