Church Beck:
Church Beck Gorge Scrambling – Church Beck Canyoning
Located in Coniston this exciting canyon is a true classic! Church Beck Canyon runs for about one kilometre, and is a narrow slotted canyon. Firstly your trip starts high up at the Miners bridge. From there a lower down a water fall gets us fully introduced with the Canyon. Generally the Canyon can be run at most water levels. However in high water, we can by pass and we start a little lower down at a more ‘easier’ sedate access point. Because groups are all different, we can accommodate for that and make things easier if needs be.
More where that came from!
Afterwards we continue to the ‘big jump’ Again this can be by passed with a lower off from a handy tree down to a ledge above the Canyon itself. Consequently if your up for it a 3 – 4 metre jump into a narrow slotted pool brings you to water level! Church beck gorge scrambling – church beck canyoning
Another swim across a deep pool, and we are in position for what is most peoples ‘ favourite Moment. The slide. A three metre slab and a similar drop into a plunge pool gets the heart racing! See video. Likewise this can be missed/down climbed if needs be.
Duration:
As soon as we have completed the slide, we keep on heading down and it’s up to us where we want to call it a day. For some that’s enough, for others the urge to carry on is just too much and we press on. Afterwards a Scramble down an easy angled water fall leads to some cool water falls that we can get some great pictures from.
The Canyon in certain lights changes colour, and as a result casts some beautiful light on the canyon walls. From here it’s just a short walk to the path and then the get out.
In addition to Church Beck, we have other options depending on your location and or group abilities.
