Overview

We start at the car park in the Big Waters Heading North, we walk through the reserve then turn west to Dinnington.  We then head back east to Wideopen where we join the Tyne and Wear Heritage Trail back to Big Waters. 

This is a quite a flat walk so should be an easy one to start the new year.

There will be a coffee stop en route.

This walk is lead by Justin Pearce
