A medieval stone bridge spanning the River Tees, featuring three arches and a steeply pitched roof, surrounded by lush greenery and offering picturesque views of the river and its banks.
It's a lovely timeless place but sadly not a robber to be seen. Great boatmen scudding in across the quiet stream though.
We visited here today to take a capture a few images of the countryside for my portfolio. The road down to the bridge is quite narrow with only a handful of passing places possible, there is a very nasty, VERY STEEP haripin bend, go careful. The road did not have any potholes but was covered in leaves, it probably doesn't get a lot of use. We tried to cross the bridge in the car but it was just too wide, the sensors were not happy and neither were we. So we parked up beside the road (there is a layby just up from the bridge for parking, we found on our way out.) Not being very safe footed (wonky legs) we didn't venture far from the bridge, but it looks like an awesome area if you fancy walking, great scenery and a lovely river. Please do remember to take your rubbish home, it's a shame to spoil the beauty of the area with picnic detritus.
This is very attractive and worth a look. We only found it because the owner of the hotel we were staying in told us about lots of places off the beaten track. Could spend hours exploring the pretty stream and taking photos and just enjoying the peace!
I went to see this bridge after seeing it on a postcard and when we arrived it was vastly different. The bridge is quite small and narrow while there is another passage over off to the other side useful for larger off-road cars. The bridge overlooks a small stream which is more attractive than the bridge itself.
As beautiful as the images, just need care the curves and steep road, and the bridge is too narrow to pass through for some big vehicles.
Beautiful spot. I got a flat tyre and spent several hours here. Couldn't have wished for a livelier spot to break down
