This is a great walk, with a few options available, but all taking in the falls of Sour Milk Gill as it flows from Easedale Tarn (see here for a recent blog about this walk). There's a longer walk taking in some summits to the north and west before finally dropping down to the falls, a slightly shorter route still heading high first but to the south of the falls before then dropping down, or a more straightforward there and back option - take your pick!!
Although a little off the beaten track Eskdale's distance from the main tourist routes around the Lake District can mean a little more space to wander, lonely as a cloud... You can choose to arrive in the valley by steam train from Ravenglass and as well as seeking out the falls we can also hit the hills and the odd tarn.
The tiny village of Buttermere sits in the middle of two bodies of water (Buttermere and Crummock Water) and is surrounded by stunning fells and yet more stunning waterfalls. There are almost too many to choose from but Scale Force and Moss Force are must-see falls, and we can take it from there depending on your time and energy levels!!
I love this part of Eryri around Llyn Ogwen, with the Glyderau and the Carneddau either side of the A5. With park-and-ride available from Bethesda, and fewer visitors than Yr Wyddfa, it's a great place to start any walk. There's plenty of summits to tackle and some amazing waterfalls to visit - one of our guided walks can be tailored to suit your walking and waterfall desires.
