The waterfall lies two kilometres upstream of Mallyan Spout waterfall. Nelly Ayre Foss is a wider but a shorter fall than Mallyan Spout.

Directions
Head south-west from Goathland towards New Wath Farm. Just before the farm the road turns through a U-bend. Leave it on a path that runs to the left with open moors to the left and some fields to the right.
As the fields end, take the right-hand turn. Follow the path that gently cuts down the slope to the left to reach the beck, then turn back right and head down-stream towards the waterfall.
