A gentle stroll this week in Weardale due to a troublesome toe!


I don't know the significance of this road side sign in Cowshill


Looking down Weardale

Typical pastoral scene in the dale 

Lead mines were prolific in Northern Pennines....

...Killhope mine has been restored and turned into an interesting
visitor centre

The River Wear flows past the mine 

The buildings and machinery have been well restored...

The Weardale way starts at the mine and follows the river for 76miles to the sea at Sunderland

There are a number of water catchments around the mine

The Weardale way follows the river closely

An attractive stretch of the river near Cowshill village
