Looking north along the old drove road
Now just a footpath but the old stone walls on the right show it was once an important route north to Scotland. Much of it is now the A68, but this section was bypassed by the later road.

The Horse and Groom at Castleside
Nice to see this old inn is still surviving. It dates back to the 18th century and stood beside the old pack horse road which ran across the modern road here and down to Allensford on the Derwent. Replaced by what became the present A68 in the late 18th century.
