We had a lovely trip to Falling Foss Waterfall at the weekend. We came across the waterfall while traveling to Whitby.
The waterfall is set within a beautiful forest complete with a very lovely tea room with lots of outdoor forest seating. There is free parking available but also additional parking available in a farmer's field for £3 if the forest parking is full.
There are two routes to get to the bottom of the waterfall, one fairly flat winding path and another more adventurous route. We decided mainly due to our very excited 9 year old to take the more challenging route.
This route is quite steep and requires some climbing over branches etc so more suitable for older kids. We all managed it ok but it was hard work.There is a handy rope to hang on to on the way down but if you attempt this way make sure you are prepared as we would imagine it would be very hard to climb back up.
The route back was longer but much easier and we were really able to enjoy the beauty of the forest and have a good explore. Just to note both routes require walking over stepping stones which the kids loved but we would recommend bringing extra socks just in case of a misstep.
Falling Foss is well worth a visit as it is simply beautiful and makes for a lovely day out.
