Weardale Tuesday Walks

WTW is a small, friendly walking group which meets on the 1st and 3^rd Tuesdays of each month for walks in Weardale and its fringes.. Everyone is welcome on our walks, local residents and visitors to the dale alike.

The group’s walks will appeal to individuals who have a reasonable level of fitness and walking ability as walks will be 4-7 miles long with ascents up to 1,000 feet and may include steep climbs and descents, rough, uneven, boggy and rocky terrain and the fording of streams etc. Please check the detailed description of all walks on the website to assess whether they are within your capabilities before joining any walk.

As walks may be cancelled or rescheduled for later in the same week in the event of bad weather consult the www.weardale.uk website from 8am on the morning of the walk before travelling.
