Stock Ghyll

Find out more about Stock Ghyll, including what facilities are available.

Stock Ghyll features a famous waterfall once written about by the poet John Keats. 

The ghyll once powered the bobbin mills for the Lancashire cotton trade.

There is a circular walk beginning at the southern entrance which takes you via a signposted path up to the viewing platforms and over the top of the falls, before descending again.  

There is a disabled access point to the top viewing platform. Stock Ghyll is also a gateway to Wansfell Pike and Troutbeck.
