Car Park was a little busy but was able to find a space. Parking is £3 (cash at the machine or card at the centre)
Didn't visit the centre but looked lovely.
Fantastic walks in the area. Summerhill force is only a 3 min walk from the car park, but welll it is worth continuing on to see more.
A short distance by foot in the opposite direction is low force.
Will be returning again.

Nice little waterfall along a very peaceful path just a short walk from the car park.

Lovely walk to a series of small waterfalls..there are a number of different trails, through woodland mainly. You can cross the river at lots of points. When you reach the "cave" at the end there is a large pool. It's not really a cave as such, more a ledge behind the waterfall. Still beautiful and still worth a visit. We parked at the visitors centre.

Beautiful small waterfall - incredible location, really easy walk from Bowlees with a couple of other waterfalls (only small ones) along the way. The cave is lovely, cut right back, and you can walk right into it but I didn't. You could go behind the waterfall. Would have an incredible atmosphere but I was unlucky to share it with a very rowdy group playing in the water (it was under 20° I think they must have been mad, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves). Perfect spot for taking photos, absolutely stunning.

Lovely walk. Quite an easy path but no access with a wheelchair or pram

Visited in a very wet half term Tuesday and practically had the place to ourselves. Personally I think this made for a better experience as the paths are quite narrow in places so I imagine there's queues on a lovely sunny day. Be aware though that High Force is only accessible along a path that the hotel charges you to use

Beautiful walk up to this amazing waterfall. Can be muddy underfoot and uneven in places, but well worth the short trek.

One of several beautiful waterfalls in this area. Very easy to walk to with plenty of other very photogenic parts of the river along the way to look at and admire

An absolutely beautiful nature spot to visit. Since the weather was very hot the time of year we had gone, the area provided a welcome reprieve from the heat. We brought our picnic lunch and the children had a marvelous time playing, finding all sorts of interesting things, and going under the falls. The falls were not heavy at this time but still so very relaxing! It is a short walk to the falls from the car park. The car park itself was very busy and you may need to search for a spot. When you get to the falls, however, it's all worth it. It's probably a good idea to bring bug spray, a dry change of clothes, etc, and a picnic lunch if you plan on being there for the day! You won't be disappointed!
