Such a magical waterfall to visit, its actually the tallest waterfall in the lake district with a drop of 170 feet. The route begins in Buttermere village, its a fairly gentle walk to the waterfall, howvere it can be quite boggy, so be prepared. You also have to climb the rockface to get the best views of the waterfall it can be slippy, so be careful, but it is so worth it! Full details below.
