A stone castle was built on the site of an earlier defended position from around 1095 to 1125 by Guy de Balliol. Between 1125 and 1185 his nephew Bernard de Balliol and his son Bernard II extended the building. The river through the window is the River Tees

A suspension road bridge, built 1829-31 by John and Benjamin Green. Rock-faced piers, tooled-and-margined stone pylons. Wood-planked roadway; wrought-iron suspension chains and links. Single span of almost 53 metres. Battered rectangular-plan piers rising from massive plinth to a double blocking course. Each pier carries 2 battered corniced pylons, flanking roadway, and supporting blocks through which the double suspension chains pass. Roadway, 10 metres above river, has plain railings, continued to octagonal end piers with corniced caps, except to north-west where railings join toll house. Rare example of an unaltered early C19 suspension bridge.
