Stone Bridge Near Grindon

Highlight • Bridge

I took this route from Grindon back to Wetton as the footpaths were so muddy it made the footing difficult.
Great views from a quiet road walk.

Highlight • Cycleway

Relatively flat cycle track following the old railway, a point of interest is the disappearing river which often has huge sections with no water

Butterton Cobbled Ford

Highlight • Settlement

Butterton is a pretty little village, and this isn't any ordinary stretch of pave, it's also under a few inches of water! Unclip before cycling up it - those cobbles are slippery...
