Bleabeck Force

Bleabeck Force is a waterfall on Blea Beck in Upper Teesdale, County Durham, where the beck tumbles down in a series of stepped cascades before joining the River Tees.

It sits roughly half a mile upstream from the famous High Force, on the south side of the river, and is noticeably quieter and less visited than its well-known neighbour.

The waterfall is typically reached on foot from Bowlees Visitor Centre, following public footpaths along the River Tees past Low Force, across the historic Wynch Bridge, and beyond High Force into a more peaceful stretch of the valley.

Because many walkers turn back at High Force, Bleabeck Force rewards those who continue with a more secluded experience.
