There’s a fab tea room and general store in Eppleby village. Very cycle friendly with a track pump in the doorway!

With Whorlton bridge still out of action, this makes for the best crossing of the Tees if you want to avoid traffic

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.

Good Cafe very reasonable prices and good food and Pleasant Staff

Open 10-4 everyday except Tuesday. Great coffee and cake, bacon/sausage butties. Enough bike parking for a group ride, plus a maintenance station with pump and tools. Walkers, runners, kayakers and dogs all welcome!

picturesque village which has a green, shop and pub.

Yes! somebody has actually flown a spitfire under the bridge.

Nice view's up the reservoir
