Overview

Delves Lane   

A nice short walk of around 2 hours enjoying the Consett countryside. The first part begins along an old railway track before we have a steady climb through a field and enjoy the views. There are livestock around, so no dogs please. The rest is easy as we slowly descend towards a lovely cuppa at the Knitsley Farm shop.  

The Knitsley Farm Shop have kindly allowed us to use their car park, but there is limited parking so please try and carshare if possible.
