High Force Waterfall (Teesdale)

 
Description: One of England's most spectacular waterfalls located in Teesdale, County Durham.

Newest Review: ... hear the roar of the water plunging over the rocks, although you can't actually see the waterfall at this point. Obscured by trees, the noise of the water becomes louder and louder, then you reach the viewing platform at the foot of the waterfall, overlooking the plunge pool, and at last this magnificent sight is in front of you, as you watch in awe as the River Tees suddenly drops 21 metres ... more
