Path in Flatts Woods, Barnard Castle
Percy Beck is on the right. The woods are owned by the Vane family of Raby Castle. Paths through the woods for the use of the public started to be laid out by local residents 200 years ago.

Alternative crossing
Judging by the worn path and the degree of polish on top of this fallen tree, I was by no means the first to use it as an alternative means of crossing Percy Beck. Between the log and the bridge, Black Beck comes in from the right of the view, but this is a minor tributary, so it is easy to step over that to return to the path.

Percy Beck viaduct
This bridge was built by the South Durham and Lancashire Railway and was completed in 1861, carrying traffic from Barnard Castle across the Pennines to the main line in the west. The line had many spectacular trestle viaducts, all now removed, but this stone-built one with brick arches remains, now carrying a private road, having been closed as a railway in 1964. Flatts Wood, through which this view was taken, is a popular walking and children's play spot, being on the fringes on Barnard Castle, with footpaths down to the River Tees.
