Gates near Bellingham The entrance to Hesleyside, dating from the early C19th. The elaborate wrought-iron gates are flanked by piers, topped by urn finials, which are, in turn, flanked by serpentine walls culminating in square piers. Grade II listed.
A sign nailed to a nearby tree tells us that, "the house has been the home of the Charlton family since 1343", and that, "the family are happy to welcome parties of visitors to the house by prior arrangement".

Parkland near Bellingham Not looking particularly parklandish, apart from the variety of trees on show. Hard to see from this shot, but they form part of an avenue of trees which runs north from the house (Hesleyside) to the River North Tyne, only about 500 yards away. This was probably laid out in the early C18th.

Walled garden near Bellingham C18th and presumably built as part of the Hesleyside estate.
The River North Tyne is just the other side of the distant fence, and Hareshaw Common beyond that.

Farmland near Bellingham (2) A view across apparently improved pasture to the slopes of Dunterley Fell.
What looks to me, as an ignorant townie, like a bit of rusting old metal, might well be a crucial bit of farming equipment. In fact, the whole Northumbrian economy, such as it is, might depend on bits of metal like this. Or it might not.

Country road near Bellingham (5) Looking towards Bellingham.
This section of road is lined with many fine beech trees (possibly planted by the Hesleyside estate as the road is more or less on axis with the house), some of whose trunks have, to varying degrees, lost their characteristic silvery smoothness. A disease, or age, or something else?
