카운티 더럼‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The waterfall is fed by the Cow Green Reservoir, with water running over a dam wall and then plunging into the river.

폭포라기보다는 긴 급류에 가깝고 길이가 200야드에 달해 영국에서 가장 긴 폭포로 여겨집니다. 젖었을 때 매우 미끄러울 수 있으니 가장자리에서 멀리 떨어지세요.

It can be zla lovely short varied walk, in nice place, if you pick the right weather & time of year but remember it's popular with dog walkers & the Tanfield railway runs a long the top. This can make for a good day out traveling the line & walking the alley to have a picnic or visit the cafe in the summer.

Great views on a clear day from the summit and nice easy walk.

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.

Mickle Fell is the highest peak in Yorkshire, depending on which list you look at. It is an imposing bulk of a mountain and difficult to get to as a large chunk of it is in the Warcop military training range and access is limited. Normally, 10–12 weekends are set aside annually by the military to allow hikers to walk one of two routes to its summit. There are two routes: the Northern Route and the Southern Route, and both require permits. I did the Southern Route, which is a linear route following a fence for most of the way. The middle section of this route is difficult and boggy.

Above Weardale, between Frosterley and Wolsingham are a bunch of trees that are supposed to resemble an elephant. I think a few years ago, a storm caused damage to the trees and now a bit of imagination is needed.

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.
