Managed by the Woodland Trust, Beckmickle Ing is a lovely woodland along the River Kent. It's easy to reach from nearby Staveley and can be linked to a number of great walks in the area. It's particularly delightful in spring, when the bluebells are at their best. Keep an eye out for the resident roe deer too.

I’ve walked routes past here in all different weather over the years, it’s steep going up from the Bowston end but not too bad via the Longsleddale Road end. Going down from the tarn takes a winding route that either passes Craggy Woods or passes a small farm shop that links to footpaths down to Staveley.

A small collection of water that runs from Potter Tarn and Gurnal Dubs, before making it's way down to the River Kent. The pond is brimming with fish and is home to a few ducks.

The small waterfalls are situated next to Side House which looks like an old farm house. You can take a path left or right of the waterfalls to reach the path up to Potter Tarn. The path on the left follows the stream and the path on the right follows an old disused road above the stream.
