Hidden among the rugged and remote moorlands of Upper Teesdale, Sand Force is one of the lesser-known yet most striking waterfalls in County Durham. This dramatic cascade tumbles over dark gritstone ledges, a tributary of the River Tees carving its way through the ancient Pennine landscape. Teesdale itself is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and UNESCO Global Geopark, and Sand Force perfectly embodies its wild charm—an untouched jewel for lovers of nature, geology, and photography.
This high-resolution aerial image captures the waterfall’s raw energy as it crashes over the tiered rock face into moss-lined pools below. The long-exposure technique softens the flowing water into a silky veil, contrasting beautifully with the sharp edges of the craggy terrain. The rich greens and greys of the scene, paired with a dramatic sky, evoke the timeless majesty of Teesdale’s uplands. A perfect choice for those seeking a bold and moody landscape print.
