If you can manage the walk this amazing Middlesbrough landmark is one to visit for sure. There a small town nearby with a convenience store to grab a picnic before you head up to... just make sure you bring walking boots ????

The Tees Transporter Bridge has played an important role in the area's history for over a century and continues to Provide an important and unique crossing over the River Tees. In recent years the Transporter has emerged as a leading historic visitor attraction and is one of the UK's major sites for extreme sports including abseils, bungee jumps and zipslides. In 2011 to mark the Bridge's centenary the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) confirmed a £2.6m award for refurbishment and upgrade work to the Tees Transporter Bridge. The HLF supported Tees Transporter Bridge Visitor Experience Project included the installation of a glass viewing lift to provide improved access to the upper walkway, renovation of the gondola, replacement of the Bridge's motors and the development of state-of-the-art visitor facilities and resources.
If you're into industrial heritage this is a very interesting structure to see... and it's fully working transporting locals, visitors and their cars (or on foot) across the Tees. The car park is free for the first 2 hours which gives you ample time to see round the visitor centre, take a trip across the river to watch the transporter working from the promenade on the other bank and even go on the tour (might be worth booking in advance). The tour (only £5.50) includes walking across the top which gives excellent views of the area. Thankfully, there's a lift up! The guys who run the transporter and those in the visitor centre are all very friendly characters who obviously love their jobs and helped to make our day.

Middlesbrough Theatre was opened by Sir John Gielgud in 1957 and was one of the first new Theaters built in England after the Second World War. This intimate 484-seat venue has a growing reputation for providing a wide range of quality professional and amateur entertainment - from popular musicals to modern drama and from celebrity nights to family shows.
The Little Theatre now renamed Middlesbrough Theatre is a great little venue. Just unfortunate since the refurb the huge sign outside reads "MT Middlesbrough Theatre"! This year's Dick Whittington panto was fantastic, we really enjoyed it. The sets and costumes were superb....infact everything was - the jokes, the characters, the banter, choreography. Hadn't seen a panto for years but we've realised that it's a great thing to go to between Xmas and New Year and it's walking distance to my mum's so we should, and will, go more often. Highly recommended!

Our usual route is from Lord Stones' Cafe carpark up the hill towards the stone seat, a pleasant stroll along the top and then loop back round along the bottom of the hill. Beautiful views along the way, especially from the top. The climb up is a bit steep but the path is good - and my 65 year old mum managed it just fine, with a few pauses to catch breath. This loop takes around an hour. This week we pushed ourselves to walk further and walked from Lord Stones' Cafe at Carlton Bank to the Wainstones, with lots of ups and downs over the hills. We took a circular route back to the carpark at the cafe, walking back around the bottom of the hills which was much quicker. Around 1 hour, 40 minutes there, with a break at the Wainstones for a snack, then 1 hour walking back through the woods. It was windy along the tops of the moors but the sun came out for a little while, so was a very pleasant walk.
