Stock Ghyll, Ambleside

Oil on canvas, Stock Ghyll, £1500, Chaz Newton-Smith

Stock Ghyll, Ambleside – Artistic Inspiration in the Lake District

Stock Ghyll is a scenic stream flowing from Red Screes through Ambleside to the River Rothay, famously powering 12 historic watermills that once supported local industry. The 70-foot Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, just a short walk from Ambleside town centre, draws visitors year-round, though the picturesque trails can be slippery and require sturdy footwear. The name “Stock Ghyll” comes from Old English and Old Norse roots, meaning “tree-trunk” and “deep glen.” This dramatic setting, steeped in natural beauty and history, has long inspired artists such as J. M. W. Turner and John Ruskin. Its blend of power, tranquility, and heritage makes it a rich subject for contemporary landscape and expressionist art alike.
