Suggest a good walk



Crimdon to Denemouth ( viaduct between Blackhall and Horden) along the bank tops. Walk under the viaduct, cross over the road, through Castle Eden Dene until you get to Castle Eden village, walk through village, over the road, across field opposite then onto Hart to Haswell railway path, turn left, walk down railway path for 3 miles until you get to railway bridge at Hart Station , from here where you started out from at Crimdon only a short walk away.
 
I love the c2c cycle path route, joining at Keir Hardie way and along North Hylton, up past the Shipwrights and on to Cox Green (you can follow the cycle route but there is a great trail path at the top of the bank after the Shipwrights which comes out near the Wildfowl park). Cross over, up to Penshaw then on to South Hylton past Offerton, or stay along the trail by the river until you get to Claxy Rock. Then over the new bridge and back to the start.
 
South Hylton Metro, cross the road, and have at it along the old Leamside Line for as long as you want. Plenty places to turn off, for a pint/coffee/snack.

Pow Hill, walk around Derwent Reservoir.

Head down to Middleton, plenty of walks around there. High/Low Force obvs, but park at Bowlees, walk from Low to High force, and keep on walking into Upper Teesdale and you can loop back round to Bowlees via Holwick, paths are not marked but they are there. Cow Green and Cauldron Snout down that way, if you want to avoid tourists.

Head down the A689 from Stanhope to Alston you'll find walks at any of the villages.

Hadrians Wall from Haltwhistle.

Simonside Hills.
 
Do not use the stairs in the house as exercise, just take it easy on the stairs right.

Afraid not... it's not even MTB friendly. It's bumpy as hell nearly all of the way and there are about five places where you have to lug you bike down one set of steps and up the other. I think the worst one is about 150 steps.

Thanks. You were selling it so well :lol:

Ouston and Urpeth Ramble.

Once you get through High Urpeth, you drop down into a big hollow. You can't hear any traffic noise or anything and there's just woods, fields and a stream. It's utter bliss! Plenty of wildlife to spot on the way including the occasional deer or red kites.

The leaflet has gone off the local website, but I can draw the route on a map if you're interested.

I've played golf at Beamish and at times it is fantastic scenery and terrain. Spoilt only by golf.

Middleton in Teesdale to High Force is a good one and part of the Pennine Way. Leyburn is gorgeous at the moment, lovely walks along the Shawl and it's market day...and The Black Swan reopens today.
