"Stunning waterfall and woodland trails"
Overview
At the heart of the Durham Dales, High Force is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in England, with origins dating back 300 million years. Located at Forest-in-Teesdale, the River Tees itself has been plunging into this gorge for thousands of years. Away from the waterfall, heather-covered fells and peaceful woodland walks offer abundant wildlife.

About the area
County Durham reaches halfway across England, from the North Pennines in the west, to the sea in the east. Much of it is very sparsely inhabited, and is naturally beautiful; a mix of rolling hills, monumental valleys, lush farmland and unforgiving moors.
