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.
LightSweep OP t1_jdnjfav wrote
“Force” comes from the Old Norse word “foss”, meaning “waterfall. Various waterfalls in Northern England are named foss/force.

A lot of Viking words have survived in various place names in Northern England and Southern Scotland.
