A glimpse of the Tees The Teesdale Way keeps close to the river between Piercebridge and Gainford, but views are often restricted due to tree cover. Somewhere below and close by must be the remains of Gainford corn mill, but any pathways down through the woods have securely locked gates and 'keep out' notices.
