On the River Swale which flows at the edge of Keld, visitors can see a series of four waterfalls thundering through a spectacular limestone gorge. There are also some lovely wooded areas.

The hamlet has no shop, nor does it have a pub, but it is a grand area for walking or relaxing. There is a choice of accommodation in the region which includes scattered bed and breakfast houses and holiday cottages.

Keld lies between High Seat (710 ft.) and Rogan's Seat (672 ft.). A short distance away if the famous Buttertubs Pass, a scenic route, ending with the dramatic waterfall known as Hardrow Force.
