Can you still walk behind Hardraw Force waterfall like in Robin Hood?

No, access behind the falls is now prohibited for safety reasons. You can view it from designated areas in front, which still give you excellent perspectives of the 30-metre drop and the limestone overhang.

Do you have to pay to see Hardraw Force?

Yes, there's a small admission fee because the waterfall sits on private land. You enter through the Green Dragon Inn, and honestly, having a pub waiting at the end of your walk seems like a fair arrangement.

What's the best time of year to visit the Robin Hood waterfalls?

It depends on what you want. Spring brings higher water flows and fewer crowds, summer has better weather, autumn offers spectacular woodland colours, and winter can turn the falls into frozen sculptures but makes paths trickier.
