Anyone passing through the village of Mickley would be unaware of the river which is down a bank and hidden from the village. From the western end of Mickley a bridleway runs down to the river bank to the site of a ford, however there is no right of way on the far side. This is a powerful river, running [as seen here] at normal levels, so the ford must have been a risky business. On the far bank is Tanfield Lodge.
