Overview

This walk will visit Hardwick Park  an eighteenth century landscape park, and the surrounding countryside. There is a mixture of parkland, quite country road, woodland paths and fields. At this time of year we may encounter some mud. Sedgefield itself is a pleasant market town with roots going back to Roman times. Hear the story of the pickled parson of Sedgfield, or if you can't wait click the weblink below.
