Foller Gill’s story treads seemingly softly, rhythmically, leaves their fresh green mark beyond the grey, beaten paths. Foller Gill takes the much lesser-trod course, searches deeper, further, takes secrets to their mainstream beck. Euden Beck strides hungry, curiously thirsty, pushes past the slow, shaded fields, scorns their hemmed-in universe. Bedburn Beck ambles, tramples down all resistance, insistent in their pursuit of an ancient destiny. The Wear wanders, snakes towards their final estuary, savors the holy promise, the gift of the free, North Sea. Foller Gill bathes unbound in their ocean. And their legend continues.

The Legend of Foller Gill
Foller Gill’s story treads seemingly softly, rhythmically, leaves their fresh green mark beyond the grey, beaten paths. Foller Gill takes the much lesser-trod course, searches deeper, further, takes secrets to their mainstream beck. Euden Beck strides hungry, curiously thirsty, pushes past the slow, shaded fields, scorns their hemmed-in universe. Bedburn Beck ambles, tramples down all resistance, insistent in their pursuit of an ancient destiny. The Wear wanders, snakes towards their final estuary, savors the holy promise, the gift of the free, North Sea. Foller Gill bathes unbound in their ocean. And their legend continues.
