Probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls, Aira Force provides a glimpse of a landscaped Victorian park with dramatic waterfalls, arboretum and rocks scenery. The main force falls 70 feet from below a stone footbridge and is on land owned by the National Trust. Find Glenridding on the map to close in on the location of the falls.

Built on a side of a hill, it feels seriously high up. Swinging through the canopy, wiping out at the bottom of zip wires and going on an adventure gives you a real buzz. You'll fly 200 metres across the top of the Grizedale Beck and marvel at the forest canopy 18 metres up a magnificent Douglas Fir.

City/town information
Much of the Great Langdale valley is in the care of the National Trust, who have ten farms. The valley stretches from Ambleside through Clappersgate, Skelwith bridge, Elterwater, Chapel Stile, to the Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, and the glaciated valley of Mickleden. The surrounding fells include Pike O’Blisco, Crinkle Crags, Rossett Pike, and the Langdale Pikes – Pike O’Stickle, Harrison Stickle and Pavey Ark. As you come over the rise into Elterwater from Skelwith Bridge, you are presented with a typical Lakeland view – sheep grazing on the common in front of white-washed cottages with slate roofs, and the craggy peaks of the Langdale Pikes rising behind.
