Cotter Force 18 B. Cotter Force SD 850915 Known as ‘the valley of the waterfalls’, Wensleydale harbours many delights for the visitor. Cotter Force, west of Hawes, is a lovely secluded waterfall in a wooded setting. It is a series of about half a dozen waterfalls with the largest single drop being about 1.5m. The force widens as it descends being only a couple of feet wide at the top and about 4.5m wide at the bottom. Trail This 490m level footpath alongside the beck is constructed of compact stone with a general width of 110cm. There are three seating areas evenly spaced along the footpath. Whilst walking the route look out for dippers, grey wagtails, redstarts, long tailed tits and kingfishers. Toilets The nearest public toilets, including RADAR facility toilets, are in the Hawes National Park Centre car park. Parking There is a pull-in for three cars, but with limited width for wheelchairs.
