Ford on Sour Beck

I am sure that I forded here about 9 years ago when walking my son's dog. Either I am getting older or the water is getting deeper, as I certainly didn't fancy my chances of crossing it this time.

Coast to Coast walk, east of Colburn

The Coast to Coast walk was devised by Wainwright in 1973. Although it has not received official recognition as a National Trail, it has become hugely popular amongst walkers. Link

Here it drops down to cross the northern end of the Vale of York before gaining the Cleveland Hills.

Ash House, Catterick

This elegant old house stands just off the A6136 Catterick village to Catterick Garrison road.

Dot's Spot, James Lane

Presumably Dot has an interest in horses; riding is obviously a very popular pursuit amongst the inhabitants of Catterick Garrison. On the road from Catterick Garrison to Tunstall.

Palladian Bridge in Brough Park

A handsome single arched stone bridge on the approach drive, by John Foss, c1790.

Weight Limit over Bridge

Tunstall Lane is rather narrow, with few passing places, and this weight limit forbids traffic over 7.5T using this end.

Sour Bridge, Tunstall Lane

18thC stone bridge over Sour Beck, which becomes Brough Beck on the other side of this bridge. Presumably because it passes through Brough Park on its way to meet the Swale near Castle Hills, Catterick.
