Looking over the parapet to the town you can see the old Yarm station buildings. Tragedy struck when a train overan the station, and a passenger left the carriage falling to his death below the viaduct.

Very easy track to follow through mixed woodland. My photos taken at 5.30am on a sunny May morning, with sunlight streaming in through the trees at a low angle. Definitely worth a visit and a great route to take to get up on to Live Moor.

Clain Wood is an attractive woodland bursting with seasonal colours. In the springtime, you're afforded a seasonal display of blooming bluebells, and in the autumn, the most wonderful display of orange/yellow leaves. It's situated on the north-western edge of the North York Moors near Swainby.

Clain Forest is a very pretty place. In the summer, the gorgeous bluebells, in the autumn, at the right time of the year, the orange/yellow spectacle as though out of some kind of Impressionist painting. Worth stopping by: a very beautiful place.

Over Dinsdale Bridge carries the road and NCN165 across the Tees. It's thought that the Roman's built a bridge here, but nothing remains of this crossing. The current bridge is the third modern (ish) bridge, it was built in the late 1800s and strengthened in 1956 and again in 1993.
