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 - <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/78187" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/78187">Link</a> ), 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.
