Dist:0.8km<br/>Canoeists paddling the River Tees either as a short trip down from Barnard Castle or a park and play at Abbey Rapids have a choice of getting out up a scramble under Abbey Bridge, continuing all the way to Whorlton or Winston, or getting out at this point, which marks the final wave at the end of the gorge below Abbey bridge. The advantage of paddling on down to this point is that you get every last inch of the rapids, and here the right bank has become low enough to walk out carrying your boat onto the public footpath which leads back to the main road at a convenient layby. In low water levels, only the park and play from the packhorse bridge down to here is feasible, and in the summer level shown here, even that may not be worthwhile.

Dist:1.0km<br/>A handy place to pull off a quiet backroad seems to be an open invitation to fly tipping in the Barnard Castle area - any slight increase in the hassle of using the local council's facilities generates more of this sort of thing. Fly tipping is very much a live issue here at the moment.
