Dungeon Ghyll
Dungeon Ghyll is a ravine on the north side of the valley, that starts on the fell slopes between Harrison Stickle and Loft Crag/Pike o'Stickle. It is narrow, and a No Through Route for walkers. Much more open is Stickle Ghyll, which descends from Stickle Tarn. There is a well–trodden path from the Stickle Ghyll car park at Old Dungeon Ghyll up to the tarn, parts of which have been improved with stone slabs to reduce erosion. The waterfall is known as Dungeon Ghyll Force.

Famous quotes containing the word dungeon:
“O who shall from this dungeon raise
A soul enslaved so many ways?
With bolts of bones, that fettered stands
In feet; and manacled in hands:
Here blinded with an eye; and there
Deaf with the drumming of an ear;
A soul hung up, as ‘twere, in chains
Of nerves, and arteries, and veins;”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
