Copthill Quarry Disused and flooded quarry on the outcrop of the whin sill at Cowshill. The quarry was opened up in 1895 by Octavius Monkhouse who was the Innkeeper at the nearby Cowshill Inn and son of the local minister. The quarry is one of two whinstone quarries in Weardale, the other is at Stanhope, and rock was carted from the quarry to Wearhead railway station and from there down the dale for use in construction projects. About 50 men worked the quarry in the early days and as it developed permission was obtained to demolish first the vicarage and then the church itself. Now only the graveyard remains, above the quarry, north west of Copthill Farm. By 1926 the quarry was in financial difficulties and closed down but a group of local men formed the Cowshill Quarry Company and this new company took over and continued the work up until final closure in 1943. http://www.aditnow.co.uk/mines/Copt-Hill-Whinstone-Quarry/

Burtreeford Mill, Cowshill This large three-floored corn mill is built into the riverbank so the top floor is level with the top of the bank. The water wheel was driven by water from both Killhope Burn and Sedling Burn. It was built in the early 19th century and was used until 1939. The machinery was finally removed in 1990 and it is now a private dwelling http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRNMAP=D4640

Fantastisk placering
Dejlig hotel på trods af massiv igangværende ombygning. Perfekt placering hvis man ønsker at udforske og opleve den dejlige by York. Rigtig god morgenmad.

Fantastic property beautifully presented - disappointing that HomeAway don’t manage the whole proces
The property was amazing and owners very flexible around arrival time and departure. Couldn’t fault it and would definitely choose to stay again. However very confusing that received 2 invoices - 1 from Homeaway and another from Crabtree and Crabtree. Confusing as to what was being paid for what. ...
