Mosedale Beck is a stream in the fell country of Cumberland, around whose valley, Mosedale, stand several famous hills of the Western Fells of the Lake District. Ultimately the beck runs into Wast Water, which is the deepest lake in Lakeland.
Mosedale Beck rises in Little Scoat Fell, it then flows south west until it reaches Ritson's Force waterfall. It then turns to the south and flows through the hamlet of Wasdale Head. It then flows through Down-in-the-Dale before it empties into Wast Water near the parallel Lingmell Beck.
The beck finishes its course just below the village, tripping through Down-in-the-Dale where it is swallowed by Lingmell Beck, the united waters emptying after a hundred yards or so into Wast Water.
The Mosedale Horseshoe, a celebrated mountain walk, runs around Mosedale, starting at Wasdale Head and taking in Yewbarrow, Red Pike, Scoat Fell, and Pillar.[1]
