Tips

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.

Perfect little trip for you and the kids to see such a powerful waterfall. The tracks are well-maintained so no worries about walking ability. To do the full route at a nice pace I would say about 40 min to do 1 loop.
