Bowlees Visitors Centre Gibson's Cave

Bowlees visitor centre is just before you get to High Force, it has a fairly large FREE car park with reasonable public toilets. The area is very picturesque in all seasons but a bit muddy in the winter. A short walk from the car park is Gibson's Cave (waterfall). It's pretty unusual to be able to stand behind a waterfall but here it can be done, obviously you get wet but not like you are actually in the fall of water.
Your route from the car parking area is reasonably flat, which follows the path of the beck towards the falls. If dry a wheel chair could probably manage it. Just past half way there is a fairly steep set of steps & does get a little muddy from here on in.
There are plenty of picnic tables along the beck to stop & rest if needed.
The good thing about the place is that it is free & you get up close to the water fall, unlike high force.
Well worth a visit if passing through Teesdale or just on a day out.
There is no mobile signal in this area of Teesdale.
