Dog-friendly walks in Keld

Keld Waterfalls: Catrake, East Gill and Wain Wath

A short two and a half miles taking in three waterfalls in an hour and a quarter, on grass and stone paths with one steep zigzag down to the Swale and a stretch of quiet lane up to Wain Wath Force. Start at the pay-and-display car park at the top of Keld, where the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast cross; there is no bus and the nearest shop is Muker. The best short waterfall walk in Swaledale for an older dog, with easy shallow access to the river at East Gill and a deep pool below Wain Wath Force for swimmers, though the top of Catrake Force is unfenced and the fields either side of the lane carry sheep.
