River Above High Force Waterfall

Highlight • River

With a drop of 21 meters, this is one of the largest waterfalls in England and certainly one of the most impressive.
The area also holds geological significance, as some of the rocks you see here are up to 300 million years old.

High Force Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

High Force is one of England’s largest and most impressive waterfalls. Starting as a trickle high in the North Pennines, the River Tees steadily gathers pace until it drastically drops 69 feet (21 m) into the plunge pool below at High Force. When there has been a lot of rain, the waterfall is immense. However, it is a great place to visit at any time of year and there is lovely walking in the surrounding woodland.
