Whitewater Dash - Dash Falls

High above the old road to Skiddaw House a farmer was busy tending to a break in his dry stone wall, every now and then he'd throw a frisbee down the hillside for his dog to chase and return with. His calls audible in the quiet valley, only the bleating sheep to compete with. Such is the peacefulness of this pleasant walk. That there is a cascade of waterfalls at the head is just icing on the cake. Go there soon after rain, like all waterfalls, for the full effect.

On the minor road to Orthwaite from the A591 out of Keswick is Peter House Farm. Almost opposite, beside the public bridleway, is a small car parking area and an honesty box with proceeds going to Fix The Fells.
