Troller's Gill is a narrow, steep-sided limestone ravine up the Skyreholme valley. The stream disappears underground, leaving a dry gorge of crags that feels completely wild. Locals tell of the barguest, a spectral black dog said to haunt it.

Good to know

  • Park at Skyreholme and walk up the valley
