About

Unique Waterfall Weddings. Book your wedding at one of the North of England’s greatest natural sights.

The High Force Hotel and Waterfall is a relaxed and unique setting, surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in the country.

The High Force Hotel is a traditional Country Inn and is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies. Our passionate team offer the very best in guest service and have a wealth of experience hosting all manner of wedding receptions, they are committed to making your celebration one to remember. Your wedding day is unique to you and we will hand pick your package; from a formal ceremony in our beautiful Garden Room to a rustic riverside gathering with your friends and family and from exclusive use of the Hotel to something altogether more intimate. Our chef will also work closely with you to create a mouth watering menu of food and drink. Whether you are looking for a three or four course wedding breakfast, buffet, afternoon tea, or perhaps something totally different, everything will be prepared using the best, locally sourced ingredients. Our recently refurbished en-suite bedrooms offer a range of accommodation, from sumptuous deluxe super king rooms to classic doubles and combine country charm with fresh, modern facilities. Whatever you’re looking for, we will tailor make your dream celebration to ensure that every element of your special day is perfect.

High Force Waterfall is one of the most impressive in England and is right on the doorstep. Surrounded by the stunning countryside of Upper Teesdale, it is situated in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Tees has been plunging into this gorge for thousands of years but the rocks it reveals are far more ancient – with origins dating back over 300 million years! From its rise as a trickle, high on the heather covered fells at the top of the North Pennines, to the top of the whin sill rock at Forest-in-Teesdale, the River Tees steadily grows and gathers pace, then it suddenly and spectacularly drops 21 metres into the plunge pool below. A gentle and pretty woodland walk leads you to view this spectacular sight at the base of the falls, a truly breath taking backdrop for anyone looking for the wow factor in their wedding photos.

Start planning your day by calling us on 01833 622336, or send us an email at highforcehotel@raby.co.uk.
