Views of the Tees<\/a> on a walk in mid-April from Barnard Castle<\/a> to the Morritt Hotel, Greta Bridge<\/a>. The hotel would have been an important coaching hotel on the originally Roman West-East route across the Pennines, which is now the A66. But Greta Bridge was bypassed in 1980. On the right is the “meeting of the waters” with the River Greta<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A walk around the Tees from the oddly named village of Middleton One Row<\/a> in early May. (Top) Heading upstream through woods, before emerging into meadow. (Middle) The striking church of St. John the Baptist, Low Dinsdale<\/a> and view of the Tees (from Over Dinsdale Bridge?). (Bottom) Girsby Bridge is an unusual “bridle bridge” carrying a bridleway over the river. The local landowner was apparently keen that the locals used a new church in Girsby<\/a> rather than restoring the old one on her estate (Sockburn Hall<\/a>)!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[63,46,59,49,154,66],"class_list":["post-11966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local","tag-bridge","tag-church","tag-county-durham","tag-river","tag-steam-engines","tag-trees"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11966\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
