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.

Looking south from Newbiggin Lane
This country lane leads west from Lanchester village. At this point it crosses the line of Dere Street, the old Roman Road up to Hadrian's Wall, although there doesn't appear to be any sign of it on the ground.
