The Roman bridge south of Piercebridge, North Yorkshire

England - Northumbria and Durham
The Roman bridge south of Piercebridge, North Yorkshire. The River Tees then ran south of its current channel. The large blocks were probably scattered in a flood, and very likely some would be used as building material after the bridge collapsed. The Roman road which crossed the Tees here was Dere Street, which ran from York past the fort at Piercebridge to the Antonine Wall in central Scotland.

Nethybridge and Dulnain Bridge
Common Cow-wheat (Melampyrum pratense) observed at Dulnain Bridge, by David Palmar. This species is an ancient woodland indicator. The large seeds produced by this common wildflower have evolved to attract wood ants (Formica spp.). This symbiotic relationship is mutually beneficial to both parties as foraging ants are the main method of dispersal for Common Cow-wheat.
