lace up your walking boots & explore Crammel Linn today
The Crammel Linn Waterfall is situated just outside the village of Gilsland. Follow a footpath north from the village, along the River Irthing, passing the Popping Stone and Collering Woods. After just under 2 miles, you will come to the photogenic Crammel Linn Waterfall.
The waterfall is 7.6 metre (25 ft) high and looks impressive after rain. The scenic river gorge is also good for wildlife spotting with Peregrine Falcons nesting in the trees and cliff. Deer can also sometimes be seen roaming in the forested areas. The path along the river can be muddy in wetter months so it is advisable to wear a good pair of walking shoes.
Whether you visit for the waterfall, the wildlife or simply the pleasure of a peaceful riverside walk, this is a place that rewards those who take their time. Pause to enjoy the sounds of the flowing water, keep an eye out for the local wildlife, and savour the tranquillity of this beautiful corner of the Heart of Hadrian's Wall before making your way back to Gilsland.
