Mill Force
Mill Force
Mill Force is a stepped cascade on the River Greta near the village of Bowes and Gilmonby, in Teesdale, County Durham.
Tucked into a wooded stretch of riverbank, it is a modest but characterful waterfall, its tiered drops giving it more personality than raw height alone might suggest.
The site carries a layer of local history: remnants of old mill stonework can still be spotted close to the water's edge, hinting at the industrial past that gave the fall its name. Historic maps confirm a mill once stood here.
The waterfall is reached by a short grassy path from a riverside track, and the surrounding woodland keeps it feeling secluded, making it a quiet spot well suited to those combining a gentle walk with a look at the wider Greta valley.
