There is ample parking available near the trailhead as Crimsworth Dean is found in the same National Trust managed woodland as Hardcastle Crags. The walk to the falls is relatively short and easy, approx. 1.7 miles from Midgehole, making it suitable for families with children although people with limited walking abilities may struggle.
