No Entry signs bar entry to the Lambton Estate
Rather incongruously stuck on the outskirts of Washington is the estate (and castle!) of Lord Lambton. Although bits have been sold off over the years, it still occupies an area of around 3 km2. Here at the Eastern end the road leads into the estate but No Entry signs bar the way.

Pool at Chartershaugh in late summer
The flooded area here is quite shrunken because of the dry summer this year, although it was a bit more extensive than I was expecting. Always has some interesting birds however.

Pond at Chartershaugh
This pond is near the River Wear at Chartershaugh Bridge. Basically, it's just a flooded field with a shallow area of water which shrinks dramatically in dry weather. However, when it is flooded, it is very attractive to birds and is well known to the local birders. Generally referred to as "Lampton Pools".

Houses near Lambton Castle
A terrace of houses (almost certainly former estate houses on the Lambton Castle estate) situated on what is clearly an old road from Chartershaugh to General's Wood. It is not obvious whether the outhouses are privies or coalsheds - or both.
