Log Text: You can park free in the old school yard next to the bridge over the Tees, and follow the Pennine Way until you choose to divert towards the site. I know this because a helpful woman in the community bookshop told me (but she did say it's a Saxon burial site). The tourist info office is open only a few hours a week. Both places are staffed by volunteers.
