This medieval stone bridge spans the River Tees, featuring five arches and a steep, narrow design that has remained largely unchanged since its construction in the 14th century.
If your passing then stop and take a look, its over 200 years old however i wouldnt go out of your way to visit. It could do with a bit of a cleanup too where the bench area is, litter about and getting all overgrown.
It's an old bridge, right next to a new bridge that you drive over. If you're going past, sure, stop a have a quick gander, but it's not worth going out of your way for... Though I did see the cutest thing when we arrived. An old couple sitting in their camp chairs admiring the bridge (see photo)
Interesting (in the middle of nowhere) single span cast iron bridge built in 1813 I believe, but it's been closed to cars since the 70s, worth a look see if your in that area
Cast iron bridge built near a country road in the middle of no where. The day i visited the road was closed due to construction works but luckily im on bike and the workers let me through.
Just barely worth the effort of finding. Small litter strewn lay-by at the roadside will accommodate two cars. Minimal effort seems to have been made to provide viewing points, best view is by standing on the road on the modern bridge. A picnic table has been situated on the site but the vegetation needs a tidy up and the experience could be enhanced with a riverside viewing platform. By all means have a look if you are passing by (perhaps when visiting Acton Burnell Castle?) but it's really one for history and engineering enthusiasts.
Lovely little picnic area, very quiet, the odd passing vehicle, and maybe a walker or two, but apart from that, idyllic and secluded. Only downside, and the reason I didn't give 5 stars, is I chose to go on one of the hottest days, and within minutes began to have really itchy legs, didn't think much of it and ignored it for the most part, but eventually realised I was actually being eaten alive by mosquitoes, and my legs this evening resemble the elephant man!!! I realise that I can't do anything about nature and the fact that mosquitoes are present in this area, I'm just feeling rather fed up with the constant burning pain all down my legs so have taken away a star in order to make myself feel I have accurately rated the place based on my experience.
