We walk along the side of Shaft Crags, on our right, before turning left and passing Half Moon Plantation. We need to cross the stone wall (see Video at 9:20), which is hidden by gauze bushes. As we cross the field we pass a large standing stone (see Video at 10:00) on our way to Middleton South and continue north towards the bridge over River Wansbeck.
Coming to the bridge we have the site of the Medieval Village of South Middleton (see Video at 1:10). Passing Middleton Mill Farm we head down the side of River Wansbeck, and cross a footbridge (see Video at 12:25). Our route now takes us past Corridge (Farm) and Corridge Plantation as we pass the Devil’s Causeway (see Video at 13:50) once again.
We now pick up a track, passing Angertonmoor Cottage, reaching a single-track road, and head south towards Bolam Lake Country Park. It is worth viewing the walk video (see Video at 15:30), for a full view of the shoreline walk around the lake.
