Situated in the Lake District England... "Force" is a Norse word meaning waterfall. On Ullswater's western slopes is a series of waterfalls, Aira Force, enclosed by precipitous rock walls. The waterfall at the top of the gorge is quite small with only a 70-foot drop and is not a torrent at the best of times.
Aira Force is set in 12,782 acres of National Trust fell, woodland and farm. The waters begin in Aira Beck on Matterdale Common before making their way through the gorge that gives birth to Aira Force, then flow downward into Ullswater.
Marie, I remember visiting here, it is lovely isn't it. Sorry you could not come to the meet on Saturday, hope there will be another time when we get to meet you. Margaret
