High Force Waterfall, England's waterfall that is biggest, suddenly and spectacularly drops 70 legs to the plunge pool below!The pretty woodland walk is approximately 1/3 of a mile, with several resting points on the way. It is a gravel course that is gently sloping. The well maintained course twists and turns providing a new view every few yards while you start the lineage down the gentle slope. The rumble that is muffled turns to a roar as well as the sight astounds you.The waterfall is accessible via a well-maintained gravel course, which could pose difficulties for wheelchair users. Strong companions are advised.There are about 26 steps down to the watching area at the base of the falls; wheelchair users can see the falls through the top of the actions. There's also roughly 78 steps resulting in the top the waterfall, but there is no access onto the stones towards the top of the waterfall itself.Designated disabled parking spaces are located closer to the woodland stroll and to the present store and toilets.
