 About Bowes There is a pub here. There is a public lavatory here. There is a post office here. 
 
Bowes is quiet now, and it's hard to remember that heavy lorries thundered along the A66 up and down the village street. The site of the castle was once the Roman fort Lavatrae, whose ramparts can still be traced. The Roman garrison had a bath 27 feet long by 18 feet wide; traces are still visible in a field south of the church.
