Fields above B6278 near Eggleston

Eggleston with the B6278 can be seen at the left side of the image; the fields lie above the road on its north side. The distant high ground rises to Monk's Moor.

Junction of B classified roads outside Eggleston

The B6282 and the B6278 meet just east of the County Durham village of Eggleston. The blue and yellow road sign is characteristic of a style of signage introduced by County Durham some years ago.

Rutted route rising from Low Garth

Farm access routes which become rutted are regularly hideously muddied affairs; not so here with this 'machined' way rising from the deserted farm at Low Garth above the west side of the River Tees.

Teesdale Way rising through Great Wood

The path rises obliquely across the slope on which Great Wood grows, the way being stepped with timbers retaining earth to ease passage and minimise erosion.

Low Garth

Low Garth is a deserted farm above the west side of the River Tees which despite being unoccupied for many years, (at least since 2003 - Link ), seems to be structurally sound. The trees beyond appear to rise on a slope behind the buildings but they conceal the slot through which the River Tees flows unseen.
