Impressive waterfall, where the River Tees plunges 71 feet (21 m) over the layer of hard rock known as Whin Sill. A mile downstream is its junior brother, the 18-foot Low Force. You can access both free any time by hiking along the south bank path. This can be reached from the footbridge below Bowlees Visitor Centre, or by taking the lane towards Holwick that branches off B6277 just south of Middleton. But most people approach by the north bank path, where the hours and charges described here apply. This side gets very busy and touristy, but dogs are welcome.
Cosy welcoming B&B with five rooms in charming 18th century building. No dogs.
15 bedrooms in an 18th century coaching inn. Phone to book a dog friendly room. Restaurant open evenings 5:30-8PM, and lunchtime F-Su.
Charming small hotel in 18th-century coaching inn.
Weardale Bus 95 / 96 runs hourly M-Sa from Barnard Castle to Lartington, Cotherstone, Romaldkirk and Middleton-in-Teesdale, taking 30 min.
