Egglestone Abbey— The Poorest House in England

Just under two miles south-east of Barnard Castle, the remains of Egglestone Abbey stand above the south bank of the Tees. They are, not to put too fine a point on it, rather good.

Egglestone was a Premonstratensian house, founded around 1195. The Premonstratensians — known ...

This easy walk in #Teesdale #CountyDurham (marred by a couple of obstructions- hopefully fixed after 4 years) takes you over pleasant countryside with nice views, to the upmarket village Romaldkirk with its spectacular church and huge village green.

When Cow Green Reservoir was constructed in Upper Teesdale, NE England, the flow of the young River Tees became much more controlled.
Most of the time, if you visit High Force waterfall, you will only see the Tees thundering over the Great Whin Sill via the channel on the left side of this view.
However, turn up after a period of heavy rain and you can still catch the magnificent site of a double waterfall, not to mention the roar created by all that peat-stained water plummeting 70 feet (21 m) into the pool at the base of the falls.
The popular visitor attraction is around 5 miles west of Middleton-in-Teesdale and lies within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the European Geopark.

Holwick Head House in Upper Teesdale, North East England.
Unlike so many of the other buildings throughout the landscape of Teesdale, this farmstead seems to have escaped having white-painted walls.
I was told a good few years ago that if you were a tenant farmer of Lord Barnard of Raby Castle, it was a stipulation that all the buildings on the Raby estate had to be regularly whitewashed!

A little montage of Monday morning in the N Pennines. It's stopped snowing but the wind has got up even more and fine snow is drifting in off the fields. Max depth is about 200mm, half the depth expected.

I think the roads are passable but not going out today. I believe the A66 is still closed from Brough over the highest stretch.

Dug a path to the byre and that's far enough. I don't think it will melt quickly as temps expected to drop a lot over next few days. #Snow #Teesdale #Pennines

Went to Hexham via Allendale today and the fog lying in the dales gave some great scenic effects on the way there and on the way back.

Here is an arc of a fogbow from the road from Langdon Beck to St John's Chapel, with the sun roughly behind us.

Sheep in the mist. On my way down to Bowlees and the road is busy already. #SheepOfMastodon #Swaledale #Teesdale

Following my little Twitter poll, as requested I have added a new walk to my website in #CountyDurham, from Mickleton to Romaldkirk. Details at tinyurl.com/57xyvfhr

Walkers are Welcome Towns - Wolsingham, County Durham

Wolsingham is the gateway of Weardale, one of County Durham’s rural country Dales. The area is north of the well know Yorkshire Dales, between Teesdale and Tynedale, but it is less well known and is largely undiscovered! Weardale is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

A poem written 58 years ago so befitting of this time of year in #Teesdale
