Burn House, near Shotley Bridge
This is a former gamekeeper's cottage on the Shotley Hall estate, built in 1860. Reached down a track off the B6278, it's a real "cottage in the woods".

Looking North from the edge of Hall Wood to Burnhouse Gill. Fields look parched due to the very dry Spring this year.

Waskerley Lodge, Shotley Bridge
This cottage stands at the top of the lane leading to the farming hamlet of Low Waskerley and was once the entrance lodge for the estate, to judge by its name. There is a date of 1860 on the plaque above the door.

Date plaque at Waskerley Lodge
The lodge takes its name from Low Waskerley farm further along the lane. This was a big Victorian farmstead, and presumably merited a lodge here at the end of the lane. In my experience, it is most unusual to see any sort of date inscription on a secular building in this area.

Minor road heading towards B6278
The B6278 lies just beyond the 30 mph speed limit signs. A left turn there takes one very soon over the River Derwent, out of Northumberland and into Shotley Bridge in County Durham.
