Dramatic waterfall dropping 69 feet into a plunge pool amid a secluded forest with paths.

Amazing Waterfall. Would highly recommend seeing if you are in the area. The trail is very well maintained and easy to hike. The bottom of the trail at the base of the waterfall pool is a perfect picture spot. However, if you would like to avoid paying and forgo one of the better picture spots, you can still see the waterfall from a little higher up on the public footpath on the opposite side of the river. All you have to do to reach is is walk down to the bridge a little farther down the river, cross the river, then hike the 20 minutes to the waterfall. The paid hike is a much easier hike than the unpaid one, however, the paid hike also does not take you to the top of the falls.

We parked at Bowlees Visitor Centre and followed the path along the river past Low Force and the old swing bridge, then continued up to High Force. It’s about four miles there and back and such a lovely walk with great views all the way. The path can be uneven in places so it’s not really one for pushchairs, but it’s very dog friendly and has lots of spots to stop and enjoy the scenery. High Force is a beautiful sight, especially after heavy rain when the water really thunders down. If you prefer a shorter walk, you can park at High Force Hotel, but there’s an entry fee from that side. The Bowlees route is free, and if you carry on a little further upstream you’ll come across Bleabeck Force too, which is another great waterfall to see.

Waterfall itself is absolutely beautiful, an incredible site with multiple different walks, all round incredible scenery. Unfortunately some of the staff were quite rude, lady in the ticket office spoke to us like we were an inconvenience for being there and took so long serving drinks. Was very rude to other customers when someone asked why you had to pay to see the waterfall. I understand the sight has to be maintained but it could have been explained a lot nicer than she did with a lot less attitude. The gentleman at the top of the walk however was lovely and explained the paths to us and how the waterfall came to be. All in all a beautiful experience but it would be nice if the staff at least pretended they wanted to be there!

The waterfall at High Force is a phenomenal sight to see, especially after heavy rainfall. We visited just after the tail end of Storm Claudia had drenched the north east area & saw it raging, quite a sight. The staff members in the pub where you buy your tickets could employ better manners when dealing with customers as we were made to feel like we were just in the way a little & in honesty I'm not sure why we paid as there were no rangers, staff or guides on the path to show tickets to. Parking was reasonably priced BUT please read the small print! There's a lot.

Wow!! Please just visit and enjoy this wonderful place! It literally enabled my partner and I to just breathe 🧘 Beautiful! The chap at the ticket booth was so helpful and friendly, the Hotel was friendly and so accommodating and the Waterfall was so unexpectedly perfect! The walk to the waterfall was simple and pleasant and you could return on the path or take the steep steps up to complete a circular walk - perfect afternoon xxx

We have visited High Force many times before but what a spectacular visit this time. The volume of the water due to all the heavy rain was very impressive. Such a beautiful sight in autumn. Very well organised purchasing tickets from the hotel. This goes towards the up keep of the paths which were safe and well maintained. The only criticism is the high parking fee, nearly £5 for an hour, payable via a parking website. Beautiful part of the region and definitely worth a visit.

A spectacular waterfall, it was coming down both sides when we visited. Easy walking down to the waterfall, you can then scramble across the rocks for a better view. The walk back through the woods is a bit more arduous and not pushchair friendly, that said you can just double back on yourself.

A lovely little craft shop with original products and reasonable prices. They have some really cute baby clothes. I bought a handmade skirt for my daughter for £5. I would go back.

As a crafter it's always nice to see what other people make, and there was plenty on offer. The range of goods were extensive and generallyof a good quality. However, that being said, some prices were a little on the optimistic side.
