When Cow Green Reservoir was constructed in Upper Teesdale, NE England, the flow of the young River Tees became much more controlled.
Most of the time, if you visit High Force waterfall, you will only see the Tees thundering over the Great Whin Sill via the channel on the left side of this view.
However, turn up after a period of heavy rain and you can still catch the magnificent site of a double waterfall, not to mention the roar created by all that peat-stained water plummeting 70 feet (21 m) into the pool at the base of the falls.
The popular visitor attraction is around 5 miles west of Middleton-in-Teesdale and lies within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the European Geopark.

A view of the High Force waterfall in Upper Teesdale, NE England, captured after a period of heavy rain. The swollen Tees is plummeting through two channels, rather than usually just one, as the peat-stained water plunges 70ft (21m).

This map of designated "Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty" (AONBs) makes it looknlikebl the Midlands must be less beautiful than the rest of the country. Come on Midlanders, prove me wrong? What areas are beautiful enough to be designated? If they're really good you could suggest them to National England!

I'll share any suggestions with nice pictures and ALT text!

A map showing designated areas of outstanding natural beauty in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (I believe Scotland has its own scheme). Threer is a large area in the North Midlands without any areas shown.

We have three walks this Saturday, including the finale of our ‘Going the Distance’ series.

We recently purchased a static caravan in the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's such a wonderful area for walking. This one, a five mile wander from Arnside following the coast as far as Far Arnside, then cutting back up and over Arnside Knott. #AONB

Spent the afternoon at the bottom of our garden cutting back the hedge (well, more brambles than hedge!), but it was difficult to concentrate on the task in hand rather than just stand and admire the view. #Hastings #AONB

This walk in the Arnside and Silverdale AONB takes you round Silverdale, Jenny Brown’s Point and Leighton Moss. It is a varied, easy stroll with a number of interesting aspects. For details, see tinyurl.com/2ypz3xau
