 The valley river Coledale Beck feeds into Newlands Beck and is fed by small streams from the valley sides and head, including Birkthwaite Beck, and Pudding Force.At the head of the valley a large rock formation is found named Force Crag, which forms a waterfall 'Low Force' as Pudding Beck passes over it.The valley is ringed by peaks popular with tourists ("Grisedale Pike", "Hopegill Head", "Coledale Hause", "Crag Hill" (formerly "Eel Crag"), "Sail", "Sail Pass", and "Outerside") forming a horseshoe ridge walk known as Coledale horseshoe or 'Coledale round'.
