IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Fairy Dell, MIDDLESBROUGH, TS7 8LF

The black 'log' that appears to traverse Marton West Beck at this point in Fairy Dell is, in fact, a sculpture of a snake. It is 'moving' in a north-westerly direction across the beck.

Marton West Beck flows in a north-westerly direction through Fairy Dell. It then passes through Gunnergate Wetlands. When walking through the Dell, there is a tremendous volume of bird life to observe.

These steps lead down from Gunnergate Lane to Fairy Dell Bridge in Fairy Dell. Marton West Beck can be seen 'coming in' from the right-hand side of the picture. The bridge can be seen just left of centre. Viewers with really good eye-sight might notice the 'yellow' public-footpath sign just to the left of the fourth notch on the tree depicted in the foreground of the picture (just behind the hand-rail of the steps). The post to which the sign is fixed is less discernible.

This entrance to Fairy Dell provides access to Marton West Beck by means of a wooden flight of steps that leads down to Fairy Dell Ford and Bridge. Just before the steps there is a useful notice board containing an annotated map of the Dell to enable visitors to see the different walks and features available for them to view. The steps are shown here: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1597017.

This entrance into Fairy Dell provides access to Marton West Beck and Fairy Dell Bridge by means of a 'gentle slope' through the wooded area near the road junction and St Augustine's RC primary School. There is an alternative entrance (using a wooden flight of steps) leading down from Gunnergate Lane - about 100 yards to the right of where this photograph was taken. See here Image and here Image

Timberland Trail runs through the rich wooded area that surrounds Marton West Beck. This picture shows an access point to the trail from the north-east corner of Fairy Dell Park.
