Egton
Egton Bridge sits below the village of Egton on the River Esk and this is where the station is. There are two pubs here, one right next to the station, where the game of quoits is still played in the summer, one round the corner and two more up in the village, a 15 minute walk (see below).
Egton is famous for its large agricultural show (July) and its annual gooseberry show (August).
