Remember to obey the Countryside Code, and wear stout footwear. A whistle and compass, basic first aid and extra clothing should be carried for emergencies.

A History of Brough
Margaret Gowling has written a book 'The Story of Brough-under-Stainmore' which was first published in 2011. The book is available from local bookshops or from the publisher, Hayloft Publishing Ltd.
Clock Tower Centenary
Brough's historic clock tower, incorporating, at the top of the spire a carved stone which was the top of the much older Market Cross, celebrated its 100th birthday in 2012. The clock was built by public subscription to commemorate the Coronation of King George V, father of King George VI, featured in the Oscar winning film 'The King's Speech'.
