Like the view of St Peter's this was done during the winter of 2010/11. This church is even older than St. Peter's with part of the tower dating back to the early 9th century when it is recorded that a church existed on or near the site and that the 12th Bishop of Linisfarne was consecrated at 'Biguell' in 803. The present church is largely 13th century and was extensively restored in the 19th century.

The name Derwent comes from Brythonic/Old Welsh and means "oak river".

Wharnley burn is a stream which runs into the river Derwent at Allensford and a few yards from the river it falls about 12 feet over the rock face you see in the picture. The waterfall can be seen from a public footpath on which you can either follow the river or venture towards Castleside and the coast to coast path.

Walking or cycling between Consett and Rowley on the coast to coast track you need to cross the very impressive 'Hownsgill Viaduct'. A word of warning, you do need a good head for heights.

Before the viaduct was built, rail wagons transporting materials between Consett and Rowley had to cross Hown's Gill gorge and be lowered down one steep side and hauled up the other side on a system of inclined tracks by a stationary steam haulage engine.

In 1857, the 12 arch, brick viaduct was built 175 feet above the gorge floor and 700 feet across. It was used to transport goods from Consett to  Stanhope via Rowley and Waskerley for 111years.

The railway became redundant in 1968 after the short sighted decision of the then minister of transport Dr Beeching who closed rail lines right across the country. We were lucky that the line was converted into a cycle and footpath.

It streaches 84 miles between Newcastle and Carlisle and was  started in 122AD and completed in 130AD, not long at all considering present day building projects! This picture is west of Housesteads where visitors can see the remains of one of the forts which were built at intervals along the wall.
