Stock Ghyll Force, Ambleside
Stock Ghyll Force is a spectacular waterfall which is in Stock Ghyll Woods, just to the north of the village of Ambleside. The water drops 70 feet in two distinct steps, and on the way it creates a 'V' shape. It is one of the most visited of the Lake District waterfalls Link
Stock Ghyll
Stock Ghyll is a tributary of the River Rothay, draining eventually into Windermere. It has a heavily industrialised past and once powered twelve watermills. It descends through a series of waterfalls to the centre of Ambleside where many of the old mill buildings whose wheels it used to turn can still be seen. The mills closed long ago, and most have now been demolished or been converted for other uses; some are used as shops.
