Tips from the Community
Note that the track from Beck Hole to this waterfall is very boggy in places, and part of the track is very high up and narrow, making it slightly difficult to navigate in summer when the gorse bushes are encroaching over the track. Slow and steady with good footwear is essential. There are 2 further waterfalls upstream, Water Ark Foss and Walk Mill Foss, but they can't be accessed from this track from Beck Hole, you would need take either the footpath from Darnholm, or the footpath from Lins Farm just to the northeast of Beck Hole.

Whilst this waterfall is relatively accessible, as others point out it is a bit of a scramble, with the rocks still quite slippery and treacherous in the height of summer, as they are permanently in the shade and damp. In summer, the valley that the track to the waterfall runs through provides welcome respite from the heat of the day.

Many of the photos posted are actually Thomason Foss, which is 50m further upstream. This little waterfall is very broad and shallow, almost like a set of rapids, with lots of huge flat boulders flanking the northern shore that make a perfect perch for an impromptu rest.
