Mickleton周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

これは、テーズ川を渡る橋の中でも特に興味深いものです。この吊り橋は、北の丘陵地帯にあるリトル・エグルズホープの鉛鉱山へ行くために利用していたホルウィックの鉛鉱山労働者によって存在しています。

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.

Interesting structure and history

Mickle Fell is the highest peak in Yorkshire, depending on which list you look at. It is an imposing bulk of a mountain and difficult to get to as a large chunk of it is in the Warcop military training range and access is limited. Normally, 10–12 weekends are set aside annually by the military to allow hikers to walk one of two routes to its summit. There are two routes: the Northern Route and the Southern Route, and both require permits. I did the Southern Route, which is a linear route following a fence for most of the way. The middle section of this route is difficult and boggy. For further information, scheduled hiking days, and contact numbers, see the links below.  Access Days — https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/warcop-access-times General Information — https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a79714ce5274a2acd18cdf4/dte_info_leaflet_northwest.pdf Application procedure — https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66339f8e4d8bb7378fb6c172/WTA_Mickle_Fell_Access_Permit_Request_Procedures.pdf

A market was established below the castle in the 13th-c. The impressive octagonal stone pavilion of the Market Cross was built in 1747. The arcade surrounding its base once sheltered market traders and the upper floor served as a lockup, town hall and a courtroom.

These impressive Bowes Castle ruins are free to visit. Although not much of the fort is left standing, you can visit the interior of the castle and imagine yourself back in time. The current castle dates from 1187 but was built on what was once the foundations of a Roman fortification.

While this chain suspension bridge over the River Tees was built in 1830, there was an even older one at the same location dating back to 1741, which could have been the first of its kind in England. It is located right next to the Low Force waterfalls.

A nice easy walk on a clearly marked path takes you all the way to High Force.
