Middleton In Teesdale To High Force
A lovely linear walk from Middleton in Teesdale to high force along the Pennine Way.
This is a lovely linear walk from Middleton in Teesdale to High Force taking in Low Force along the way. We started this walk from our hotel but can be started anywhere in the village. We headed south out of the village over the bridge and took the Pennine Way footpath just after the Auction Market buildings.
This path is goes all the way to Low and High Force and is very difficult to deviate from. Once you reach the metal footbridge around a mile after Low Force you can choose to either cross it and head across the field and up the steep steps through the woods, which brings you out to the hotel and then down to High Force or you can carry straight on which will bring you to the top of High Force.
We went to the top of High Force and then came back on ourselves and went to the Hotel for refreshments and then followed the path back. You can do it whichever way you feel.
The path is very clear and easy to follow, although if done in cold weather and after snowfall it gets very slippy.
