Eerie sight but beautiful.

From Hownsgill Viaduct you can see for miles around whilst standing on the old railway bridge. The actual bridge has elevated side wall protector barriers, this to stop anything going over the side, the drop below is considerably higher than a house. There were high winds on the bridge on the day I rode over, the barriers also protect from the weather. You get very good views over both sides of the bridge.

Viaduct is now open, the paving is slightly bumpy though!

Great off-road route with an extremely gentle slope in a westerly direction!

Rookhope is really interesting- but slowly dying. The arch is almost emblematic of that.

Fantastic stretch of road cycling with wonderful expansive views over Muggleswick Common and Waskerley Reservoir. Waskerley Reservoir stands as the largest among a trio of reservoirs situated on Muggleswick Common in County Durham. The other two reservoirs in this cluster are Smiddy Shaw and Hisehope Reservoirs.

The road heading up onto Redburn Common from Allenheads (430m) in the west climbs through a steep hairpin bend and several shallower corners to reach an altitude of 533m. The descent down the otherside to Rookhope at just over 300m is more gradual and fun to ride. Also good the other way with a longer steady climb and then a steep descent down to Allenheads, watch out for the tight corners and cattle grid on the descent if riding in this direction.
