High Force Waterfall, United Kingdom

High Force Waterfall in Durham County is one of the famous water falls in England. Falling from a height of 70 feet on River Tees it is the highest uninterrupted waterfall (not highest) in United Kingdom. The whole river comes down from the steep rocky edge in two steps which even freezes during the winter days.

Other than the Fall, the walk along with the track following to the place really gives a variety of views at every node.

This is an amazing piece of ART in a beautiful place lying FAR South-Western corner of London to blow anyone off who just likes nature, sea, mountains, rocks, white sands, blue water and of-course ART. This is a theater standing on the edge of a rocky cliff with a beautiful backdrop of sea... Rowena Cade created this internationally famous cliff-side theater with her own hands and personal fund in the year 1929 looking down the infamous beach of Porthcurno.
