High Force Waterfall

About

High Force Waterfall is reputed to be one of England’s tallest waterfalls, nestled in Upper Teesdale it is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Tees suddenly and spectacularly drops over the Whin Sill rock, 70 feet into a plunge pool below making it England's highest uninterrupted drop of water.

A pretty and well-maintained woodland walk leads to this breathtaking sight. As you begin the descent down the gentle slope the path twists and turns giving a different view every few yards. The muffled rumble suddenly turns to a roar with a sight that astounds you.
