**Due to the closure of Whorlton Suspension Bridge, Walk 2, The Abbey Bridge & Whorlton Circular, can now only operate as a 'there and back' walk on either side of the river from Abbey Bridge**
A circular walk following the Teesdale Way along the River Tees downstream from Abbey Bridge past Meeting of the Waters and picturesque Dairy Bridge, made famous in the painting by Joseph Turner, through fields to Whorlton suspension bridge, returning on the much higher north bank, also designated as Teesdale Way, back to Abbey Bridge.
