The waterfall might be worth a visit if you are looking for somewhere to go for an autumnal walk.
Visiting High Force waterfall
High Force waterfall is one of the biggest waterfalls in the UK at an “impressive” 21 metres tall.
The waterfall can easily be visited as part of a day trip with plenty of walking routes available.
Whether you want to complete a long walk around the area or just fancy a stroll to see the waterfall, you can follow one of the marked routes in the area.
There is a car park close by and a “picturesque” picnic area for you to relax in.
If you want to extend your trip, you could stay in the High Force Hotel in one of the 10 boutique rooms.
The hotel also has its own restaurant that offers breakfast, light bites, hot lunches, and even a Sunday roast if you want to treat yourself after a long walk through the surrounding woodland.
David Gold, Royal Mail’s director of external affairs and policy, said: “The British Isles are rich in natural beauty and these stamps highlight some of the UK’s most striking waterfalls in all four nations.
“They showcase the richness of our natural environment which has been shaped by water over thousands of years.”
