We are the Chester-le-Street Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Seaton Sluice
A leisurely to moderate walk of approximately 7.5 miles. Starting at the Fountain Head car park we will head in a south westerly direction, enjoying the woodland by Seaton Burn. We will then head north for a short distance, across open fields before joining an old wagonway south before lunch. After lunch, it’s time for the mud for a short while as we make our way east, towards the coast. Now we’re on easy street as we meander north along our beautiful coastline back to the car park (and the toilets).
Dave Marshall has kindly offered to provide an option for a shorter walk if required.
9.50 am for 10.00am departure at The old Civic Centre car park, Chester le Street, DH3 3UA
Fountain Head Car Park, Seaton Sluice (at the eastern end of the A190 which passes Seaton Delaval Hall)) The car park can be busy at weekends but spaces do become available quite frequently, so please allow enough time and carshare if you can. Nearest postcode: NE26 4HT, What3words: bugs.stay.badly There is extra parking on a side road by the Melton Constable pub, which is just a short distance south of the car park on the right hand side. If you choose to park here, please wait on the main road and join the group as we pass.
