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.

High Force is one of the most impressive waterfalls in England. 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! THE EXPERIENCE 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. OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY High Force is surrounded by the stunning countryside of Upper Teesdale and is situated in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A variety of animal and plant life can be seen at High Force throughout the seasons, from a vast array of wildflowers, ferns and towering trees, to roe deer and rabbits.
We visited with a dog and five-year-old granddaughter. Put off by reviews re parking at High Force, we parked at Low Force and walked the 1.5 miles along the river. It’s a lovely walk with good paths (a bit rocky in places) and we had a great time spotting butterflies and wild flowers. High Force is truly awesome! Hold onto little hands though - there are no guard rails.

A lovely shop full of interesting things at very reasonable prices. We came away with a bag of goodies and a money left to spend. How often does that happen?

The disused railway is a great walk and is easy fo all abilities. We walked from Mickleton to Middleton and also in the opposite direction to Romaldkirk. If you like walking, this is an enjoyable path away from traffic.
