Forest in Teesdale
Apparently open all year round - imagine the ice on this one!
Summer Opening Hours: April to October 2014: 10am - 5pm daily
The Gift Shop, car park and other visitor facilities will all be open

Steep steps down to the viewing point
Good walking area, including a walk up to the head of the falls
Go south on either the A68 or A1 - then west on A66 - then northwest on the B6277, 4.5 miles NW from Middleton-in-Teesdale
If you and your kids are looking for drama, then get yourself down to what has got to be one of the loudest, prettiest, most powerful examples of white water in the UK. I would say the journey down from Newcastle will take you about an hour and a half but don't worry about that. You can stop for an ice-cream in Staindrop or just just stop to look around in Barnard Castle or Middleton in Teesdale - all pretty as owt. The area west of West Auckland is lovely.
High Force is well signposted off the A 678 and you need to use the designated car-park ( £2), which also has some very presentable picnic tables for the family. You buy tickets at the shop -
Admissions to Waterfall Walk:
- Adult: £1.50
- Child (5 - 15 yrs): 50p
- Concessions: £1.00


Further still, there is Low Force, which requires a hike across a field and sharp eyes to spot the stopping place in time. Another lovely day.
