The hidden picture perfect Yorkshire waterfall that most tourists miss

Updated: Aug 2

Nestled in the heart of Yorkshire, this hidden gem offers a tranquil escape into nature and is a great wild swimming spot in Yorkshire!


Located in the beautiful landscape of Hardcastle Crags near Hebden Bridge, this enchanting waterfall is perfect for those seeking peace and picturesque scenery. The falls cascade into a serene plunge pool, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient woodland, creating a magical atmosphere ideal for a relaxing day out.


Accessible via a scenic walk through the stunning Hardcastle Crags, this waterfall is a favourite among hikers, photographers, and nature lovers.




The Lumb Hole Falls is a stunning example of true Yorkshire beauty. It's very easy to get to with a pleasant walk, and at the end is this stunning waterfall which cascades into the plunge pool below. Perfect for a dip!


It can be quite difficult to get to the actual pool but it is absolutely worth it! The waterfall is very picturesque so if you're a photograph we recommend scrambling down to get the perfect snap.

Lumb Hole Falls is beautiful even when there are strong winds and horizontal rain! It's mostly known for its gorgeous deep pool which drags in visitors in the summer, even though there are a few signs indicating no swimming is allowed.


It is privately owned so please respect the gem if you plan to visit so that it doesn't get closed permanently!


Remember - LeaveNoTrace!


As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!


Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
