At the beginning of June the burn is just a trickle as it emerges from the culvert (which is at least partly brick-lined), but the diameter of the tunnel suggests that it was constructed with the possibility of a far greater flow in mind. Here, along the path of the Weardale Way the burn is close to its confluence with the River Wear.
