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.
