General presentation
North Pennines et Teesdale
High heaths, waterfalls, Tees valleys, isolated roads and wilder landscapes than nearby tourist areas.
The discovery of North Pennines and Teesdale revolves around High Force, Cauldron Snout and Teesdale. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, natural spaces, riverscapes and the countryside, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: few services outside villages and plateau weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Cascade
High Force
High Force sets vertical water tension and rock structures, with a relief that takes shape at each step. The site remains very visual: falling noise, light steam and stopping points at the edge give a strong sensory reading.
Cascade and throat
Cauldron Snout
Cauldron Snout captivates through the open gorge and the path elevations, where the rock guides the step. Progress requires attention; the reward is in the way natural folds change the perspective over time.
Valley
Teesdale
Teesdale follows the Tees River between stone villages, meadows, moors and waterfalls like High Force. The landscapes change quickly according to the altitude and the weather: brown water, wallets, sheep and open plateaus give a rough valley, ideal for short stops as well as for a real hike.
