The High Force Hotel in Upper Teesdale is a fantastic centre for exploration. Not only is Teesdale perhaps the most complete and beautiful dale in the country… but it is so beautiful that it has often been said that this is where heaven meets earth! Therefore the High Force Hotel is an excellent location from which to expore the delights and treasures of Teesdale.

However, the High Force Hotel provides an excellent base and centre from which to explore the delights of the surrounding areas. To the north lies pretty Weardale with its Killhope Lead Mining Centre, Hamsterley Forest and Weardale Railway. To the west lies Alston, England’s highest market town with its South Tynedale Railway, and beyond Hartside Pass and the Lake District. And on the southern border is the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
