Situated amidst stunning woodland, near to Low and High Force waterfalls and surrounded by rolling fields that boast some of the best hay meadows in England, Bowlees Visitor Centre has all you need to make your visit to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a memorable one. The information centre, café, gift shop and picnic area are ideal for walkers and cyclists, and the centre is dog friendly. There’s also plenty to do for families with nature trails, wildlife spotting and a mud kitchen. Sit a while and discover nature from our birdwatching spots and wildlife areas, or walk to Low Force and High Force. After dark, experience the stars at our officially-designated Dark Sky Discovery Site. The art gallery displays works by local artists, with exhibitions changing throughout the year. There is free wifi and ample parking. We run all kinds of events throughout the year and full details can be found on our website www.visitbowlees.org.uk.

Pop into the visitor centre to learn about the flora and fauna of the North Pennines and then take a walk to see some spectacular natural features, including Gibson's Cave and Summerhill Force.
