We’d been to High Force some years ago, so this time we headed to Low Force. We parked at Bowlees Visitor Centre. Parking there is pay and display and the ticket machine issues a ticket on receipt of your donation. There is a suggested donation depending how long you wish to stay. There is a small amount of free parking in a lay by on the road. From the car park you can walk across past the visitor centre and over the road, cross a field and through a small wooded area to see Low Force. You can cross a suspension bridge and walk to High Force, but we didn’t. We returned to the car park and from there found our way to Summerhill Force and Gibson’s Cave. It is a bit of a climb on some quite deep steps but well worth the effort.

We did a couple of walks along the River Wear , one around the peninsula and the other fro Green Lane past the University Sports grounds. Both were downloadable and easy to follow. Autumn colours were spectacular and birdlife and ducks in abundance. Well worthwhile.

Rarely is a wonderful historic woodland available so close to a city centre. Home to many species of wildlife, Great High Wood has probably been here for 800 years. There are many oaks and beech trees and the bluebells were already coming out for our visit in April. The site is owned by the university but there don't seem to be any restrictions on walking.
