Hiking

The spectacular ruins of Egglestone Abbey occupy a picturesque spot above the River Tees. The crumbling ruins are all that survives of a small Premonstratensian monastery that was founded in the late 12th century. The site is owned by English Heritage and is free to enter between 10am-6pm. For more information, visit: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/egglestone-abbey.
