As you begin the descent down the gently sloping, well-maintained path, a muffled rumble reaches your ears. You can enjoy the pretty woodland walk which twists and turns with a different view every few yards, but still the waterfall escapes you. Then the rumble turns into a roar - you can imagine the feel of spray on your face and there's a natural earthy aroma. You peer through the trees and there it is. The sight astounds you. Postcards and photographs can't portray the sheer size of the vertical wall of water - the ceaseless roaring sound - and the almost tangible atmosphere of the place. High Force commands respect. Its power is its beauty, but it must be treated with care. Children should be supervised at all times. High Force is open all year and is spectacular throughout the seasons.
