Autumnal Cascade & Waterfall Below Stock Ghyll Force, Ambleside, Lake District, Cumbria

            This image was taken one Sunday morning while it had been pouring with rain for most of the night. These falls, and a much larger falls above these, were in full flow with a torrent of water flowing down. The river then rolls on down through the Lake District town of Ambleside before finally emptying, via the River Rothay, into Lake Windemere.

Entering the woods to start the short climb to Stock Ghyll Force, this man-made cascade can be seen from the path.  It is a bit of a climb to get down to the beck, but I think it was worth the effort.

The water from Stock Ghyll was used for many years to power bobbin and fulling mills along the beck, and the remains of old mill buildings can still be seen rising from the banks of the water course.

Stock Ghyll, also known as Stock Gill, Stock Gill Beck and Stock Beck, is a stream in South Lakeland. It flows about four miles from Red Screes through the town of Ambleside to the River Rothay.
