High Force Waterfall

Spent a lovely day out with my camera going to Raby Castle and High Force, with the latter being the much better...

High Force is waterfall on the River Tees, near Middleton-in-Teesdale, Teesdale, County Durham , England. The whole of the River Tees plunges over a precipice (cliff edge which is almost vertical) in two stages. In former times flooding created two separate falls, but after the completion of Cow Green Reservoir in the upper Teesdale this seldom happens now. In harsh winters the falls would freeze, creating cathedral-like ice formations.

Some shots of the waterfall can be seen on my Flickr stream here.
