The melting of the last ice age created four small valleys and mounding known as drumlins. The Roman road Arbeia (South Shields) to Harte was under the first fairway. The 18th, ”St.Cuthbert’s Way”, note the symbolic cross, is where the monks carried the coffin and soon became stuck in 995, vision took them to Durham. The fertile dairy and arable land was converted and constructed to a golf course and lakes by the Weightmans. Simon Weightman designed all the greens and more.
