Highlight • Bridge
Dating back to the 14th century, this historical structure, overseen by the commanding presence of the castle, has been known as "County Bridge" due to its former role as the boundary between County Durham and Yorkshire.
Enduring the tests of time, the bridge underwent repairs in 1596 and saw the restoration of its parapets following the Great Flood of 1771.
