Upper Teesdale

There's something otherworldly and yet still beautiful about the starkness and harshness of the upper Durham Dales. Both Weardale and Teesdale share the same rugged landscapes and the same hardy folk who farm them. The buildings up there are built to last and to endure the harsh conditions, and in Teesdale especially, their whitewashing really makes them stand out amongst their surroundings. I'm sure the lamb and it's mother were quite grateful for its shelter on this cool and breezy afternoon!
