Overview

From the car park we go up the road to pick up the Weardale Way footpath. The first section requires a steady climb through fields to Sunnyside Edge. We continue on the Weardale Way over moorland leaving it just before Harehope Quarry. We'll have lunch here in a little nature area. It's then back to Wolsingham following the river and railway line.

If you intend to go straight to the start of the walk, please contact the walk leader prior to the walk.

Not suitable for dogs.
