The Lodore Falls is a waterfall in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. The Watendlath Beck drops some 30 meters deep down before it opens shortly thereafter in the Derwent Water lake in the Lodore Falls.

However, the waterfall is after dry periods often very small, after heavy rains tearing.

The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge called the Lodore Falls the best part of the Lake District and compared it with the fall of the fallen angel from heaven, as he saw portrayed by John Milton in Paradise Lost as a sublime picture him.

The Lake Poet Robert Southey has 1820 poem (The Catarct of Lodore, also known as How does the water come down at Lodore? ) Wrote about the waterfall.
