A small stream runs through Eggleston Hall Gardens and in two places a trough has been constructed with steps down. The leaflet for visitors suggests that this is where the gardeners cleaned the vegetables destined for the hall.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This ruined church is in the grounds of Eggleston Hall Gardens. It seems to have been replaced in the mid-1800s by another church (Holy Trinity) further north. There are quite a few old graves. My guess would be that the owner of the hall found that the church was interfering with his landscaping plans, or simply that he did not like the parishioners traipsing to church so close to his house. But that is pure conjecture on my part.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Eggleston Bridge is an old, narrow structure with traffic across it now controlled by lights. The view from it here is upstream along the River Tees with autumnal colours showing well.
