Autumnal Waterfall, Stock Ghyll Force, Ambleside, Lake District National Park, Cumbria

            This image was taken one Sunday morning while it had been pouring with rain for most of the night. These falls, with a drop of about 70ft, were in full flow with a torrent of water flowing down. The river then rolls on down over more cascades and through the Lake District town of Ambleside before finally emptying, via the River Rothay, into Lake Windemere.

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.
