Dist:0.4km<br/>Approaching from the south, it seems that everything legal has been done to deter the walker from using the public footpath here - not by the people at Toft House, it has to be said - they were friendly and helpful. But as the footpath leaves the !B6281 road, the signpost is placed on the opposite side of the road from the actual footpath, where it is more easily missed, the path lies either through a locked gate or via a side gate into a paddock (and back out by another gate onto Burn Croft's drive) and finally by an unsignposted and extremely unobvious turn behind a building and over a stile which is practically invisible even when looking straight at it. Avoidance of inadvertant trespass seems to rely on the presence of the owner to pop out and ensure that you don't stray, although she was in no way unfriendly either - it just seems that the odd discreet signpost would avoid any confusion and the absence of such is just making extra work for those who live here.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This photograph shows a view of Bell Brook Farm which lies on the minor road that runs through Foggerthwaite. The picture was taken from the road (which can be seen in the foreground) looking in a west-north-westerly direction towards Heatherlea.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looks like a little flood damage has occurred ripping the footbridge that should span the Blackton Beck aside - like a toy. Teesdale Way walkers are obliged to find an alternative method of crossing, which involves getting their feet wet.
