High Force

High Force is situated in near Middleton-in-Teesdale, Teesdale, England, on the River Tees. The waterfall is located in the European Geopark and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the North Pennines. The North Riding of Yorkshire on the south bank and County Durham on the north bank are separated by the waterfall in historical county lines.


The River Tees plunges 70 feet over a cliff in two stages as a whole. After significant rain, the river will also overflow the typically dry right-side channel, resulting in two falls. Very seldom, after a major storm like Desmond in December 2015, the river level will be high enough to flood over the center section of rock. The falls have been known to freeze during bitter winters, forming cathedral-like ice sculptures.

This well-known location is ideal for individuals with less experience because it is close to England's biggest waterfall and can be reached by a leisurely stroll along an impeccable woodland track.

You may reach the well-known waterfall by taking a peaceful stroll to the top of the North Pennines, where the River Tees descend 21 meters into a swimming hole. This location is one of the list's more popular tourist destinations since Raby Castle, a medieval castle in Staindrop, Darlington, is nearby.
