Ramblers Tyneside Group uses coaches to walk & explore from the Scottish Borders to the Yorkshire Dales & Moors, from the Lakes to the Northumberland & Durham coasts.
The one time spa town of Shotley Bridge is situated on the eastern bank of the River Derwent in the Derwent Valley, very close to the border with Northumberland. There is some fine walking in this part of Durham. There is industrial heritage aplenty, from the old steel works to sandstone quarrying: (see pics 2 and 3) There is also very pleasant woodland and river too: (see pics 1 and 4.)
Our coach will drop parties of walkers and leaders from their starting point and all walks will finish at our destination today.
There will be a choice of walks - graded Easy, Leisurely, Moderate and Strenuous for you to choose from.
Details of the walks will be available from our webpage and will also be passed round the coach on the day.
