High Force...

Back home after our lovely holiday in Scotland where the weather was so kind to us... if anything a little too warm to do anything too strenuous.

We've motored down from Carlisle leaving quite early so we had the time to have a look at the High Force Waterfall. A very impressive sight even though there has been no rain for a couple of weeks.  

High Force is where the River Dees cuts through the Whin Sill, one of the key natural features of the North Pennines. A major outcrop is at the High Force waterfall. Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle, Lindisfarne Castle and stretches of Hadrian's Wall all strategically take advantage of high, rocky cliff lines formed by the sill.
