Aira Force

Aira Force

This is Aira Force which is close to Ullswater, the waterfall cacades over the rocks before dropping the 70 feet. There are bridges at the top and bottom of the falls where you can stand and take in the view. There are some lovely walks along the river here to.

Aira Force is now owned by the National Trust and well worth a visit although it can get busy in the summer months.

This is looking up from the bottom bridge.
