Hall Plantation

Stepping stones, concealed The River Wear at Stanhope where there's a line of stepping stones entirely under water - they can just be discerned to the left of the disturbance. Beneath the white water there's a roadway, a ford that for some years has been closed to traffic due to drivers having their vehicles swept away when making ill-advised attempts to make the crossing.
Both the closed ford and the stones can be seen in this image. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2653026" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2653026">Link</a>
