The Bothal Viaduct, also known as Pegswood Viaduct, is one of two railway bridges over the Wansbeck. It was built between 1849 and 1850 to replace the original timber trestle bridge. The footpath passes right under the bridge, allowing you to admire the impressive structure from every angle.

Some nice shops in there.

The Chantry Footbridge replaced an older two-arch bridge from the 13th century. An iron footbridge was built on the site in 1869, and it was refurbished in 2004. The bridge connects Bridge Street with Hill Gate on the south side. At the north end of the footbridge is the 13th century All Saints Chantry, which was restored in 1980 and is now a tourist information center, craft center, and museum. Just upstream from the bridge is a weir.

The Telford Bridge replaced an older medieval bridge and connects the two halves of the town. It was designed by John Dobson, although Thomas Telford is often credited due to the inscription on the parapet. Telford chose the location and oversaw the construction. St George's United Reformed Church is located on the north side of the bridge, while the Court House is on the south side.

Its a steep climb down, would be awful after heavy rain. Its quite low you might have to duck.
