Review & FAQ:
High Force Waterfall is one of the most impressive waterfalls in England. Starting high at the top of the North Pennines, trickling down the sill rock at Forest-in-Teesdale, the River Tees grows and gathers pace until it suddenly drops 70 feet into the dark pool below. It is the most majestic waterfall on the River Tees and England’s highest uninterrupted falls. The best place to see the waterfall and feel its awesome power is from its base, which can be reached by taking an easy, well-maintained trail through a pretty surrounding woodland. The waterfall is easily accessed from the parking lot and a picnic area.
