Great descent, not so fun the other way. There's a bit of a false flat drag towards the base from Colwell, then the two ramps up. Part of the Beaumont Trophy road race, which has run for about 70 years

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.

This impressive modern sculpture, which the hiker encounters here, is a contemporary reminder of the suffering and horror of the First World War. When designing the memorial, the artist did not choose a glorious fighter and victor. Instead, he depicts a war-weary soldier, rifle in hand, who has slumped slightly and needs to rest.

Barnard Castle is a historic market town situated in the Durham Dales. Home to The Bowes Museum.

Nice up and down, winding road through the firing ranges to speed along through. Obviously pay attention to the signs and flags.

Nice loop around the river tees

This medieval stone bridge spanning the River Tees serves as a vital link between the towns of Barnard Castle and Startforth. Dating back to the 14th century, this historical structure, overseen by the commanding presence of the castle, has been known as "County Bridge" due to its former role as the boundary between County Durham and Yorkshire. Enduring the tests of time, the bridge underwent repairs in 1596 and saw the restoration of its parapets following the Great Flood of 1771.
