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 the railway line
