'''Skelwith Force''' is a small but perfectly proportional waterfall, located on the [[River Brathay]] by the village of [[Skelwith Bridge]] just off the A593, approximately 2.5 miles west of [[Ambleside]]. It is popular with visitors and from this location there are excellent walking opportunities for those who wish to explore the area further, including it's neighbours, [[Colwith Force]], [[Loughrigg Tarn]] and [[Loughrigg Fell]].
