Overview

A walk through the Castle Eden Dene taking in the many colours of autumn.

From the Castle Eden Inn (which is currently closed) we drop down onto the Hart to Haswell Walkway and follow this under the A19 to Wingate where we cross fields alongside Winning Plantations and down to the A19 underpass into the Dene (a torch would be handy).  We follow the paths through the Dene to Garden Bridge where we ascend the steep Craggy Bank and leave the Dene behind.  We then cross fields to Hesleden and follow the road through the village back onto the Hart to Haswell Walkway back to Castle Eden.
