Description


A small part of the footings of this Roman Bridge remain in a field, set a little way back from the modern day course of the Tees. This river crossing was an important point on the Dere Road that linked York to the Firth of Forth, and the key supply line for the soldiers on Hadrian's wall. Two small information boards tell the story of the bridge and its importance
