'''Low Force''' is an 18-foot (5.5m) high set of [[waterfall|falls]] on the [[River Tees]], England, UK. Further upstream is the [[High Force]] waterfall.<ref name=WB/> Low Force is also the site of the Wynch Bridge, completed in 1830. It is suggested by signs at each end that only one person at a time should cross the bridge as it may be unstable.{{cn|date=October 2023}} 

==Geography==
Low Force is within the [[North Pennines]] Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ([[AONB]]) and [[European Geopark]]. Low Force lies on the historic county boundary between the [[North Riding of Yorkshire]] on the south bank, and [[County Durham]] on the north bank; since the [[Local Government Act 1972|local government reforms]] of 1974, however, the south bank of the Tees in Teesdale has also been included within County Durham for administrative purposes.

==In popular culture==
Sections of the film ''[[1917 (2019 film)|1917]]'' were shot near the site in June 2019. The production staff had to install signs warning walkers in the area not to be alarmed at the prosthetic bodies strewn around the site.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/17730262.spielbergs-new-drama-filmed-teesdale-warns-prosthetic-bodies/|title="They are not real" - Steven Spielberg's new drama filmed in Teesdale warns of prosthetic bodies|website=The Northern Echo|language=en|access-date=2020-02-01}}</ref>
