Trow Gill is a wooded gorge and an intriguing limestone feature. Is it a receding waterfall or a collapsed chamber? Free access. Pedestrians only.

Trow Gill could have been formed as melt waters flowed as glaciers melted. Typical of other rocks but Trow Gill is limestone. So more likely surface water found weaknesses between the layers to create an underground chamber. Eventually the roof collapsed. The water is elsewhere now.

The exposed walls have not gone unnoticed. There are many climbing routes throughout between 6 - 20 meter high. The path to Ingleborouqh ascends the notch at the back.

After parking for free on street in Clapham, there is a 60 pence (adult in 2008) charge to walk through landscaped woodland along the shortest route Clapdale Drive vehicle track. There are alternate free routes, only marginally further, one along Long Lane and across Clapdale Beck (visit link) and another via Clapdale farm.
