My lovely friend Erin at Yorkshire Tots recommended I put together a list of walks with waterfalls in North East England after sharing a list of walks with waterfalls in Yorkshire. 

First of all, I am not an expert in this area, shockingly, I have only enjoyed a couple of places mentioned on this list. Definitely something for us to work our way through over the next few years.

I asked over on my Facebook page for suggestions and you can see that post here. Lots of readers have shared photos and ideas for all across the UK - it is well worth a look.

Some of the suggestions ventured into Yorkshire but I decided to keep these in the post as they are pretty easy to get to from North East England. Many people class Yorkshire as the North East anyway.

Finally, I am so sorry about this. I usually try and include accessibility links / info in my posts but during my research, this information has not been forthcoming.

I have also not tried a lot of the walks myself so cannot provide personal experience. If you would like to know about accessibility at one of these spots, I recommend asking in our UK Days Out Facebook Group here - there are over 8000 members so hopefully someone will be able to help. 

Finally, please familiarise yourself with safety advice for visiting areas with water, supervise young children, adhere to local lockdown rules and social distancing, park responsibly and leave no trace.
