Overview

This is a walk in Teesdale that takes us through the old mining areas and the hushes that are a marked feature of the area. We start at the visitors centre in Bowlees, work our way onto the moors just below Hardberry Hill and then through the Coldberry Gutter before heading past Gibson's Cave and back to the visitor centre.
