'''Colwith Force''' is a small-medium sized waterfall, located on the [[River Brathay]] approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of [[Skelwith Bridge]] and 0.8 miles (1.4 km) east of [[Little Langdale]]. Both Colwith Force and [[Skelwith Force]] are popular with visitors throughout the year and are easily accessed by foot using a small section of the [[Cumbria Way]]. There are good walkable paths and single-track country lanes to explore the area further, reaching into Little Langdale and [[Lingmoor Fell]] to the west and [[Loughrigg Fell]] and [[Loughrigg Tarn]] to the east. The countryside is predominantly arable with scattered woodland. The waterfall, situated at the northernmost point of the combined wooded area of High Park Coppice and Atkinson’s Coppice, drops around 12 metres (40 ft) over several tiers. During periods of heavy rainfall the waterfall is particularly spectacular. |

Parking is available at Skelwith Bridge, though people do use the B5343 behind Skelwith Bridge Hotel. However, there is very limited parking at Little Langdale. If you can secure a spot the best place to park is on Side Gates, just after a terrace of slate cottages and about 250 metres before the Three Shires Inn. There is space for about twelve vehicles. Little Langdale developed as a hamlet and as such was never originally intended to cater for an influx of vehicles. Parking at the Three Shires Inn pub is for customers only so do not attempt to use the small car park and go off for several hours walking. Another option is to park at [[Elterwater]] village in the National Trust car park, which requires payment or free if you're a member. |
