River Balder


The Balder is a tributary to the River Tees. The river rises on Stainmore Common and flows 21km eastwards through Baldersdale to join the River Tees near Cotherstone. The River Balder enters Balderhead Reservoir about 7 km from its source, and later into Blackton Reservoir and Hury Reservoir.
