Walk Summary
This Skelwith Force, Colwith Force and Slater Bridge walk from Elterwater in the Lake District, starts from the National Trust Car Park in Elterwater and initially heads along the Cumbria Way footpath by Great Langdale Beck and Elter Water with its wonderful views back towards the Langdale Pikes.
Walking a little further on, we reach Skelwith Force waterfall, then after climbing through trees and across fields arrive at Colwith Force waterfall with a drop of about 15 metres - both are impressive after heavy rain.
We head on through the woods, down a picturesque, quiet lane to arrive at Slater Bridge, a 17th-century Packhorse Bridge. The much-photographed bridge is our way over the river Brathey before we head back over and down a walled track back into Elterwater.

WALKING BOOTS Unless very wet or winter walking, my preference is boots/shoes without ankle support - that's not for everyone though. Having used fell running shoes for many years, I prefer the lightweight feel.
INOV-8 Trailfly Ultra G300 Max: New to me in 2022, now the choice for 70%+ of my walks. Training shoe cushioning, but fellshoe grip and stability - getting many best in test awards.
