Chasing Waterfalls Around Hawes

An early January visit to Hawes, the market town of Upper Wensleydale in Richmonshire, North Yorkshire, with the intentions of seeking out 3 waterfalls in the area.
After a brief wander through Hawes itself and starting out at the falls there, I headed first for Aysgill Force, passing through thte village of Gayle and following Gayle Beck, on which Aysgill Force sits.
I followed the beck a little longer and then made a sharp right heading through the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales countryside and headed in the direction of Appersett. Shortly after, I made a there and back detour off my loop to head toward the second falls of the day, Cotter Force. I spent a while here admiring the falls before moving on again in search of the third falls of the day.
A steep climb up Bluebell Hill came next before dropping off into Hardraw. It was here that the next falls were located, Hardraw Force. These falls are on private land, therefore a payment of £4 (02/01/2023) is required to gain entry. I spent a while in the grounds, checking out the higher and lower walk options and sat a while to eat my lunch here too, would be a great picnic area in warmer climates.
From Hardraw, it was a gentle 2 mile walk back into Hawes where I started.
A fantastic area and one I'm sure I will visit again someday.

And lastly, I'm in no way paid for my videos, I make them purely for my own memories and hopefully to inspire family, friends and you guys to get out and enjoy our beautiful countryside. I'm no pro but I do enjoy the challenge of putting videos together. Critique is welcomed, criticism is not. If you enjoy my content, why not buy me a drink via www.buymeacoff...

Slowly working my way through your content. I cannot for the life of me figure out why you only have 797 subscribers and 16 likes. Your videos surpass many, many other people doing similar work. Having said that, I do like a well kept secret! Thanks for sharing 😁

An enriched cream of oak dipped in ointment 🧴 liquid fish 🐠 they called him one night in 1681 a bacons breath took the hand of the creamery 🥛 and smothered rich pork fish goo all over the towns people. The ancient gnome of the demon world fast approached from horse muck carriages and felt rich sauce from her ancient breath.
