    Tips

    January 14, 2021

    Low Force is a beautiful series of cascades on the River Tees. Along this section of Upper Teesdale, the river tumbles over the Whin Sill, a layer of hard dolerite rock which formed 295 million years ago from molten rock. Dolerite rock is known locally as whinstone.
