We are the Penrith Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The South Tyne valley is a beautiful, gentle valley of meadow low down and big Pennine moorland high above. This walk explores the valley from Slaggyford, a station on the narrow gauge railway line which is now a tourist attraction with trains from Alston.
This is an easy walk on quiet roads, old railway track (South Tyne Trail), riverside path, farm tracks and paths and woodland. Route is initially disused railway path to Burnstones and on to Eals Bridge. Return is via moorland, fields and riverside paths, towards Lintley Halt but diverting back to Slaggyford Station on the railside footpath.
