About the River Deepdale Beck

Deepdale Beck is a small tributary of the River Tees in County Durham. It runs down Deepdale, a side valley of Teesdale just west of Barnard Castle, and joins the Tees close to the Deepdale Aqueduct. The lower valley is wooded and is a nature reserve, known for its birds and its otters. The old Deepdale Viaduct, which stood two miles west of the town, has been gone since 1963.
