Nice picture! and also props for heading over to Eskdale as well. I think people don't usually make the trip down that side but it's gorgeous!

Ta! Eskdale is easily one of my favourite valleys in the Lake District.

What is a "force"? Is it a waterfall in England, or this place is named "Stanley Ghyll Force"? Nice photo.

“Force” comes from the Old Norse word “foss”, meaning “waterfall. Various waterfalls in Northern England are named foss/force.
