The Pennine Way follows a nice riverside path along the Tees from Low Force to High Force. It's a great walk with plenty of swimming opportunities if the river isn't too fast and the weather is warm enough, otherwise it's just very scenic.

Beautiful waterfalls very easy to walk round, just don't get to close to the edge with kids and dogs.

Depending on the length of walk you plan to do sturdy trainers or walking shoes will do
