Advantages: Beautiful places to visit Disadvantages: None
High Force and also Low Force Waterfalls are places I have visited many times over the years. Situated in Middleton-in-Teesdale, not far from both Raby or Barnard Castle, the waterfalls are a great place to visit for a day out, or as part of a drive through the stunning countryside in the area. High Force is without a doubt one of the most impressive waterfalls in England. The River Tees has been plunging into this gorge for thousands of years, but ... ...years!

Advantages: The highest waterfall in the UK Disadvantages: Not much else to do there
...be disappointed when I visited High Force last autumn with my Girlfriend. The falls are a meagre 21m high but my opinion soon changed when I arrived.
The falls are only about 40 miles from Newcastle and the journey (directions below) will take you about an hour and a half. In all this may seem like the falls are not worth visiting, but if you have a free day whilst in Newcastle or Northumberland, pack a picnic and go.
The journey to the falls takes ... ...the world (Victoria, Niagara etc) but are one of the UK's most spectacular natural landmarks.
