Walk Route:
From Blanchland village hall car park we walk around side of hall and cross road near bridge to bring us onto the path going east beside Derwent River and follow the scenic path to Carrick’s Haugh at which point we leave the path and walk over fields and climb up to Cow Byers Farm, passing the farm we are out onto open fields with beautiful views before dropping down through woodland to Shildon. We then follow the Pennine Journey road for a short way before turning right on the track towards Coat House Farm, we then cross fields and head down to Baybridge and then follow the river path back to Blanchland. There are several points to do a shorter walk. Please note livestock in fields and one field with horses. On the recce, we walked through with dog and they were fine.
