Stunning place! The drive leading to the waterfall offers breathtaking views and you can already see it from the route. The waterfall is located literally next to a free car park so you don’t have to walk far. There is a hike leading further up next to it too. Worth popping by to see such a beauty! Views are stunning.

A beautiful area. Great view of the waterfall from the car park (which is free). A steep climb to the top, or base of the waterfall but fantastic views that make it worth it

Stopped off on my way to Buttermere definitely worth while stopping it's a 15-minute walk to Moss Force waterfall from the carpark. There are some absolutely stunning views from the top.

Just unbelievable, you could see almost the whole course of the waterfall from the top of the mountain. Beautiful green space all around. Very good condition of the road (visited in summer). Plenty of free parking below the waterfall. No tickets needed.

Lovely waterfall short walk from car park. Road getting there was very scenic. Just amazing

Very short walk from the car park to the falls. Can be slippy. Beautiful.

Worth a visit, parking is free and easy, paths are well maintained, easy and short walk to the falls

Lovely little church. The needlepoint hassocks at each seat are works of art, well worth the climb up a very steep hill so be warned! Charming place, don’t miss it.

Charming little church, parking free just beyond the church for about 20 cars, no amenities here but a short walk into Buttermere Originally built in 1500s but present church was built in the 1840s Usually open for a visit and still holds srro

Charming little church. Can be problems with parking

Quaint little church that makes a great starting point to the circular walk around Buttermere. Free roadside parking just up the hill from the church.

Beautiful views and a fantastic location to start a walk.

Fine little church

Has a free carpark just above the Chapel which is open 24/7. The carpark is small but extends onto road side parking. It gets filled quick so get there early or in rhe evening.

Great hill to walk up. We parked in a small, free carpark next to Crummock Water, then headed half a mile up steep, stony paths to reach the top. The view from above just after sunset time was simply stunning. Unfortunately we missed the bluebells though, maybe next year!

I did this walk from the car park at Crummock water two days ago and loved it. There is a moderate longish plod up hill through Rannerdale to the col opposite Robinson - and then the lovely undulating ridge walk with spectacular views of the fells and lakes below. Sadly I was just too early to capture the fields of bluebells near Squat beck. I agree with other reviews that the very steep stone steps down from the summit of Rannerdale Knott need a lot of care - they can be slippery or uneven. But this is a walk I'd certainly do again, maybe in May when the bluebells are more spectacular. You can see them in my second photo if you look hard! They are there. The last photo showing the steep path descending from Rannerdale Knott summit needs to be rotated 90 degrees I think.

A beautiful spot just off the beaten track and not too busy, great place to spot random airforce flybys too

This is a small yet quirky mountain. When you hike from Whiteless Pike you get to walk up the lovely ridge to the summit. The route back down to the road is reasonable as well, and the views from the top of Crummock Water are immense.

Amazing views. The walk wasn't too strainuous. It took us 3 hours to walk from the Buttermere village to the Rannerdale summit and down again to Buttermere. The way down from the summit was very steep and slippery so be careful.

Excellent medium fell walk that starts gently up the hidden valley, then breathtaking views of Fleetwirth Pike, Hay stacks, Scarth Gap, Red Pike, Grasmoor, & Whiteless Pike, as well as three lakes. Final decent is short and tricky down steps but we managed it with a nutty dog & an 82 year old. Arrive early as parking is limited.

A lovely little hill with stunning views in all directions. We visited during bluebell season, and a walk through these is fairly easy. Well worth a visit

Lovely water. We parked in a small, free carpark to walk up Rannderdale Knotts. The view from above was absolutely stunning over Crummock Water.

Absolutely stunning. A mixture of beautiful water views and fairytale forest. I leave about 4 hrs to walk around the whole lake. You can also stop in buttermere for something to eat.

Our second family walk around this beautiful lake. It really is a great day out. The National Trust car park makes a great starting point. Especially as this makes the pub the perfect halfway point! The path is easy to follow and the walk isn't too challenging.

Crummock Water is an absolutely stunning and peaceful spot in the Lake District—perfect if you're looking to escape the crowds. Surrounded by dramatic fells like Grasmoor and Mellbreak, the views are breathtaking and the atmosphere is incredibly tranquil. There are some lovely walks around the lake, and the area is ideal for wild swimming, picnics, or just soaking in the scenery. Highly recommend if you want a quiet, natural experience in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lakes.

By far one of the most beautiful lakes in the whole lake district, and its also really close to Buttermere so you can easily visit both lakes in the same day. The sun sets behind the fells and it's so beautiful. We went on a rainy day and was still such a stunning place, its one of my favourites.

Had a wonderful walk here, absolutely stunning location and very peaceful when we went. Car park is national trust so free for members. The lake is wonderful and so calm and still. Views are breathtaking

A beautiful lake, pastoral, relaxing, and romantic. There are also many easy or difficult hiking trails that are highly recommended.

Wonderful hike to scale Force. It's a stunning waterfall tucked away on the side of Red Pike near Buttermere. The hike is a little technical at times due to erosion of the trail but nothing to complete. If you get to the waterfall erly you will probably have it to yourself. Absolutely stunning location.

Such a rewarding hike once you reach the waterfall, you can climb up the first part and get to the main waterfall at the back. Just be mindful of the rocks as they can be very slippery

Moderate but fun Hike, Some Boggie Parts so Bring Waterproof Boots, well worth the walk.

After a long, scenic walk we enjoyed this treasure. The sound of the waterfall, clean, clear water. Ideal spot for mindfulness sessions. Loved it.

Fantastic place for a day trip. Highly recommend to climb hire to actual waterfall. It is challenging climb, so not for everyone but definitely worth it!

Lovely walk from buttermere village, heading towards buttermere lake but instead turn right and follow the track. You will walk through some very narrow peices and head towards crummock water but you will soon start to follow the track left and start to climb up. Lovely water fallespcially after it has been raining. Kids loved it and I loved the views.

Beautiful waterfall a nice walk from Buttermere. If you're lucky you'll get it to yourself, as we did.

One star for atmosphere as the cafe was being renovated and it was basically eat your food and go unless you were sitting outside. This is a walkers/hikers stop off point and is very busy The cakes we purchased were very nice as were our milkshakes. The service was excellent. I suffer from food allergies and you young man who served us took his time to thoroughly check the ingredients.

Extra busy during bank holiday weekend. Seemed a bit understaffed. They couldn't keep up with cleaning the tables. The queue was long but staff was moving fast. Great coffee. Nice seating areas.

Small cafe but with a good selection of hot and cold food and drinks at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and helpful. Worth a visit after your walk

Knocked off a star as I felt it was quite expensive. 2 lattes 2 sausage baps and an extra sausage for our dog came to £26. However the service is super friendly it was clean, the sausage baps are delicious, the views great and it was a great place to shelter from a typical Lake District short downpour. I can imagine this place would get very busy in high season but a September week day was very relaxing.

Always stop here for delicious cakes and drinks when we are in the area. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Particular shout out to Suzanne and her excellent customer service. We arrived with our newborn baby who needed feeding and I asked if I could have a seat whilst my husband waited in the queue. Suzanne had no issues with this sbd showed me to a seat straight away which was greatly appreciated as this made our (and likely other customers!) visit more relaxing. Many thanks

Stopped here for some lunch. The queue was fairly long and service seems slow, but the staff are friendly and the food is good, lovely place to sit and chill. The WiFi isn’t great

Perfectly situated cafe on the edge of Buttermere. Their carpark is ideal too. Food was lovely, if a little pricey, but given the location and quality. Good value

Brilliant views of the surrounding area including particularly good views of Haystacks, Fleetwith Pike and Pillar. It is a bit of a technical path off to the east which is more of a scree than a path, making for a challenging descent. According to OS maps there is a path which goes off the main path that cuts across to Scarth Gap, but we could see no evidence off it, despite crossing it a couple of times. It's clearly lost to the sands of time.

We were lucky enough to get absolutely stunning views all around on our hike along the ridge from Great Borne to high crag

A stunning fell on a stunning ridge

Great Fell to walk as part of the series of fells you can walk along

Amazing views.

One of the fantastic buttermere fells, a hard climb but well worth the effort

Special place awsome views
