Eggleston Abbey

Another departure from the railway theme here! When you set the satnav to "winding route" you're never sure what you might find. Eggleston Abbey lies just outside Barnard Castle on a narrow winding road. It's free to enter. The odd thing here was the couple who had arrvied in separate Rover 75s and were sitting in a car park having a picnic (complete with tartan flasks). The Rover Owners' Club may be a bit racier than one would expect!
