Seeing Deepdale Beck up on Bowes Moor Image] one could be forgiven for wondering why it had that name, as its dale is not remotely deep. Having flowed thus, in a wide shallow valley, across the moor, the bridge under the Bowes-Cotherstone road marks the start of its descent. From the small waterfall almost directly under the bridge, the stream cuts its way down in a series of small falls, until the valley is 50m deep, graded to the level of the River Tees, into which it flows another 7 km downstream from this point.
