Come and explore

Bowlees Visitor Centre is in beautiful Upper Teesdale, next to Low and High Force waterfalls. There’s lots to do in and around the centre and it is a great place to start your visit to the North Pennines National Landscape.

Explore the site around Bowlees Visitor Centre as part of your visit. Take a short walk to Gibson’s Cave and Summerhill Force, go on an invertebrate hunt in the quarry or play in the mud kitchen.

• If you think trees are terrific (we do), have a wander in the woodland with our new tree activity sheet and see what you can find. Download here.
• For the full Upper Teesdale waterfall experience, take a walk to Low Force and then stride out along the Pennine Way, up to High Force, then back to Bowlees. Download the leaflet for this popular circular walk (or make a donation at the Visitor Centre for a hard copy)
