Upper Teesdale is a plant-lover’s paradise. The North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, of which Upper Teesdale is an integral part, became the first area in Britain to be awarded the status of a UNESCO European and Global Geopark in June 2003. It has an incredible level of plant (and animal) diversity and during this short break we will visit some of the main botanical hotspots of this unique and scenic limestone region, visiting a wide range of habitats from low-lying hay meadows, rough grazing pastures and juniper woods to limestone grassland.

  • Biggest diversity of rare plants & species in one location in Britain
  • Search for rare Arctic-alpine flora
  • Melancholy Thistle, Meadow Crane’s-bill & Sweet Cicely on road verges
  • Visit botanical hotspots & see as many species of the Teesdale Assemblage as possible
  • Black Grouse, Red Grouse, Lapwing & Curlew
  • Walk along River Tees & visit the famous waterfalls of Low & High Force

From the rolling heaths and woodlands of the New Forest National Park to the extensive wetlands that line the north Norfolk coastline, the varied habitats and landscapes of the British Isles are home to a wealth of exciting wildlife. It is definitely not essential to go abroad when wildlife holidays in Britain offer such diversity!
