Walk 3099 - High Force, Low Force and the River Tees from Bowlees
| Region | North Pennines AONB | | County/Area | Durham | | Author | Lou Johnson | | Length | 7.5 miles / 12.2 km | | Ascent | 850 feet / 258 metres | | Grade | easy/moderate |
The River Tees is a river of contrasts beginning its life on the isolated flanks of Cross Fell and entering the North Sea surrounded by industry. The section of the river contained in this route provides a perfect basis for a walk with the inclusion of two fine waterfalls, pleasant rural surroundings, two fine examples of public art and a return across open country to the small village of Holwick.
