Middleton in Teesdale
Middleton-in-Teesdale is a small market town about 14 miles from The Inn at Brough along a back road through the amazing countryside of the North York moors. The town is surrounded by the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Middleton-in-Teesdale expanded in the early 19th century when the London Lead Company moved its northern headquarters there from Blanchland in Northumberland. Much of the architecture from its days as a company town remains visible. Middleton served as the terminus of a railway line from Barnard Castle until it was closed as part of the Beeching vandalisation of the railways in the 1960’s. This pretty town is well worth a visit. The drive over the moors from Brough is spectacular with some amazingly beautiful views.
