B6296 descending to Lanchester
The village of Lanchester lies at the foot of the descent apparently in the valley of the River Browney yet it's the Smallhope Burn which actually flows through the village. The blue and yellow road sign is characteristic of a style of signage introduced by County Durham some years ago.

Field with trees west of B6301
At first sight this field which lies south of the village of Lanchester appears simply to have been ploughed but closer inspection shows the green shoots of a crop emerging.

Northeast corner of the fort
Like most of Longovicium Roman fort, this part is covered in grass and has never been excavated. View is from the road, as there is no public access.

The mules of Marius
This engraved stone stands beside the Lanchester Valley Walk at the point where it crosses the B6296, near the centre of the village. It is a very accurate portrait of a 1st or 2nd century Roman legionary in full marching order. Looking at all the kit he's carrying, you can see how they acquired the mule nickname. Marius was a general who reformed the Roman army in the 1st century BC to make it a more professional force. Among other things he made the soldiers carry much of their gear instead of having a large baggage train, which slowed their mobility.
