We are the Darlington Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a lovely walk taking in a section of the Coast to Coast walk as we make our way to Marrick and then on to Marrick Priory via a flagged path (375 steps) known as Nuns' Causeway and Steps wood. Our return route takes us on a path above the river Swale and through Marrick Park and Low Oxque and back to Downholme Bridge.
Well defined paths with lovely views of Swaledale. Parts of the walk are a haven for birds. There are a number of stiles and gates and the steps down the Nuns steps are uneven.
Not suitable for dogs. If you are going direct to starting point let the walk leader know in advance.
