A relatively easy ascent of a well formed footpath enables a good vantage of Dungeon Ghyll, a torrent of varying size depending on the weather. Obviously the cascade is at its best during or after heavy rain. It is one of the more impressive waterfalls in the Lake District. The more adventurous tourist will be rewarded by the imposing cliffs of Pavey Ark and waters of Stickle Tarn which feed the Ghyll. The footpath is slightly more challenging as you proceed higher towards the Tarn and care is needed as it passes close to some edges.Expect to see some of the famous local Herdwick Sheep in this area. Many of the farms are owned by the National Trust who work to preserve the breed.
