グラスホルム貯水池のおすすめライド

Housed in a former Methodist chapel, it serves as a central hub for hikers and families visiting the Upper Teesdale area.

The stone Bridge over the River Tees connects the town of Barnard Castle with Startforth. It dates from the 14th Century and is overlooked by the castle.

In the case of a "market cross," as we encounter here again, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected if the corresponding locality also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted them by the local ruler.

Nice cafe in a converted church serving coffees, soup, sandwiches and a range of cakes. Good refuelling point.

Tackling Yad Moss from Middleton-in-Teesdale is an endurance test, one of England's longest climbs (15km), defined more by its length and exposure than raw steepness. Expect a shallow average gradient of around 2%, demanding a steady rhythm as you climb from beautiful Teesdale onto the high fells. Be prepared for occasional steeper ramps hitting up to 14% briefly, but the main challenge is often the immense exposure to wind on the vast, remote moorland plateau. Experience the wild North Pennines scenery as you push towards the Yad Moss ski area summit on this epic, high-altitude crossing.

Nice view's up the reservoir

Beautiful place definitely worth a visit
