    Cauldron Snout is a rocky ravine below Cow Green Reservoir that the infant River Tees descends through spectacularly. The falls, which nestle within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), are caused by the upper Tees passing over dolerite steps of the Whin Sill.

      It's a great little scramble.

        July 29, 2024

        Cauldron Snout is a stunning series of waterfalls accessible from the Pennine Way, and the large car park at Cow Green Reservoir. There is a rocky footpath that is a bit of a scramble leading down to it from Cow Green Dam; the latter makes a super nice backdrop to the first waterfall. This footpath is treacherous when wet, and you need to be very careful, a fall could have serious consequences.
