St Edwin's church in High Coniscliffe, even though you can't see much of it because of the trees!

Heading out of the village past the tennis club and towards The Mill House

This first section through the young woodland is one of Tim's daily dog walks

The tree's were planted several years ago and it's starting to look more like a wood now

Looking back across the fields towards the distant High Coniscliffe

The first half of the walk is either along quiet lanes

Or field paths like this one, heading towards Coniscliffe Grange

Hmm, the cows are lying down, hope that doesn't mean its going to rain?

Don't think so with such lovely blue skies?

Crossing over the busy A1 motorway

Coniscliffe Grange, here we headed south towards the village of Low Coniscliffe

Along more quiet lanes

After crossing the A67 road we reached Low Coniscliffe

Which is where you join the Teesdale Way footpath which we followed back along the river to High Coniscliffe

A path through a field of Linseed plants, never seen them grown around here before?

The River Tees

We found more linseed in the fields as we headed back towards the village

And quite a lot of crab apples on the trees

A look back across the fields from where we joined the road for the short walk back to the village
