You will pass the Meeting of the Waters, where Greta River merges with the River Tees.
Greta Bridge is the site of a Roman fort, set back off the old Roman road, now the A66. At times there are lovely river views and opportunities to see a variety of wildlife. Mainly flat, with some ascents and descents through the woods and countryside, rhere is a hotel just off the walk where refreshments can be taken.
Please note this walk crosses the very busy A66 at one point.
