Route Details
Posforth Gill Waterfall From Bolton Abbey
Once you pass through the gate at the other end of the field, take the path uphill which leads away from the river. This path will bring you out onto a paved track.
Continue to follow the track in the upstream direction just a short distance.
One the right-hand side you will see a signpost that indicates the route to the Valley of Desolation and Simon’s Seat. Follow the indicated path through the gate and into the field.
Once in the field, cross it diagonally to the left, sticking close to the house. This will lead to a gate with a wide track beyond it.
Follow the track as it skirts alongside woodland to the left and pastures to the right.
Eventually you will pass a pond on your right.
Shortly after the pond, take the narrower path downhill to the left, rather than sticking to the main path. This path will lead you downhill to a bridge, and the waterfall shortly beyond it.
To return to Bolton Abbey, simply retrace your steps following the same route back.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
