Wandering the town of Yarm

Our hosts departed around 8am, and we were left in charge of the two doggies. We decided to take them for a long walk into town and around to a path on the other side of the river.

Yarm is a market town known for its busy high street. The area has been settled for over a thousand years, and they even found a 9th century Viking helmet back in the 1950's.

Busy main street in Yarm.

Yarm was granted market status by King John in the year 1207. Even today, there is a market held the second Sunday of every month.

18th century buildings line high street.

There is only one main route through Yarm, and it goes right along high street, so it's always very slow going to get through town.

The River Tees.

There is a 600 meter long railway viaduct running through Yarm.

This backyard has some odd greenery.

Things are warming up. There's a heat wave going through Europe at the moment, and we are catching the northern edge of it. Temperatures are going up to 26C (79F) today and 29C (84F) tomorrow which is quite warm for this area.
