| Information | |
The Scoberry Footbridge crosses the River Tees between County Durham on the north bank and the North Riding of Yorkshire to the south.
A bridge crossed the river here, but was damaged in the floods of 1942 and was closed until repairs were completed. It was replaced in 1971.
The nearest hamlet is Bowlees on the Durham bank, where there is a visitor centre for those visiting High Force and Low Force upriver. Nearby is Newbiggin.
