Part of Cuddy’s Corse, an ancient trail which runs from Chester Le Street to Durham Cathedral, this footbridge at Finchale Abbey connects Cocken Wood with the Abbey - a great place to enjoy the River, the Abbey, the steps!

Lovely view over the river on the way to the old ruins

I always try and park via the main road onnthe Pittyme side. And walk down the steap stairs. Rather than park in the car park
