Egton
Egton was once an important township, but is now a small peaceful village set in traditional farmland with the old market cross at its centre. Each year in August, Egton hosts one of the largest Agricultural Shows in the area. Egton Bridge is a picturesque village set in woodland in the heart of the Esk Valley and adjacent to the River Esk, which is a natural habitat for plants and animals including otters, salmon, voles, kingfishers and dippers.
St Hedda’s Church is well worth a visit as it has a shrine to Father Postgate who was born in Egton Bridge in 1599 and was martyred for his faith 1679. There is a regular bus service through this village, bus number 99.
