Important: In the event of bad weather walks may be cancelled, changed or rescheduled for a later date so consult the weardale.uk website from 8am on the morning of the walk. (We are often able to update the website to say if the walk is going ahead the evening before).
Walk Route: From the Dales Centre, we proceed to Stanhope Hall, then follow the Stanhope Burn for a while before heading west via Widley Field, Pease Mires, and Mount Pleasant to the open moor. We then skirt around the perimeter of the medieval hunting park in a clockwise direction, before cutting through the forest to pass Park Shops back to the Stanhope Burn, which we follow downstream to Stanhope. There are alternatives for those seeing shorter walks.
