Mill Gill Force is a spectacular waterfall on the Mill Gill, a minor tributary of the River Ure in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The waters here are no great torrent, but they plunge 70 feet into a wooded dell.

The valley and the waterfall are found just outside Askrigg in Wensleydale. Further up the valley is the Whitfield Gill Force.

William Wordsworth visited the valley in 1799 and wrote of it, and Turner came here and sketched the fall in 1816.[1]
