Скачать или смотреть High Force Waterfall

High Force is one of the most impressive waterfalls in England. The River Tees has been plunging into this gorge for thousands of years but the rocks it reveals are far more ancient, with origins dating back to well over 300 million years.

The name is derived from the Nordic word “foss” meaning waterfall. Although sometimes described as England’s largest waterfall, it is not the highest. Hardraw Force in North Yorkshire has a single uninterrupted drop of 30 metres and Cautley Spout in Cumbria has a total drop of 180 metres. It does however have the largest volume of water in a single drop.

High Force was featured in the 1969 film Mackenna's Gold. Although the story of the film is supposed to occur in the American Southwest, stock footage of High Force was used. High Force also appeared in Emmerdale in 2021.
