Here’s your chance to win a two-night break for two at High Force Hotel in County Durham. Situated within the North Pennines National Landscape and European Geopark is the idyllic High Force Hotel – a rural retreat with 10 individually styled en-suite rooms and a warm welcome. It is an incredibly popular destination for a country walk, hearty Sunday lunch and a superb stay in the most stunning surroundings of Upper Teesdale – with four-legged friends always welcome too.

Just a stone’s throw away from the hotel is High Force Waterfall itself, one of the most magnificent waterfalls in the UK. Part of the River Tees, the waterfall has an awe-inspiring 21 metre cascade into the ancient rocks dating back over 300 million years.

SEE THE STARS

High Force Waterfall is one of the UK’s best dark sky locations and offers its popular Stargazing Supper experience on several dates throughout the year.

Both High Force Hotel and Waterfall are part of the Raby Estate, which also includes Raby Castle, Park and Gardens. This leading lifestyle destination in the North East is just a 30-minute drive from the hotel and offers a full day out for visitors. The grounds include Raby Castle itself, the Deer Park, the Walled Gardens, The Plotters’ Forest adventure playground, plus a café restaurant with panoramic views of the castle, a stylish retail space and free-to-visit exhibition showcasing the Upper Teesdale Estate and giving visitors a taste of the estate’s history before visiting the wider site.

One lucky winner and their guest will enjoy a two-night stay at High Force Hotel, entry to High Force Waterfall, the Stargazing Supper experience and entry to Raby Castle’s Deer Park and Walled Gardens so they can soak up and delight in this beautiful part of the country.
