Moss Force Waterfall is one of the Lake District’s lesser-known waterfalls, but its raw power and dramatic setting make it a must-see for anyone exploring the area. Nestled along Newlands Pass, it’s easily accessible from Buttermere or Keswick, offering a peaceful stop away from the crowds.

Getting There & Parking:
Some free parking is available at the top of Newlands Pass, right next to the falls on the roadside. Coordinates: 54°32'50.4"N 3°14'58.0"W.

The Walk:

• You can see the falls from the road, but for a closer view, it’s a 5–10 minute easy walk from the car.

• The path is short and manageable, though rocks near the waterfall can be slippery, so take care.

Tips:

• Perfect for photography, especially in moody weather when the water looks even more dramatic.

• Combine with a drive or hike over Newlands Pass for stunning mountain views.

• Lesser-known, so you’re likely to have a more peaceful experience than at other Lake District waterfalls.

Moss Force Waterfall is a quick, rewarding stop that feels like a secret corner of the Lake District—easy to access, impressive to behold, and ideal for those chasing waterfalls off the beaten track.
