Hiking
When visiting Horsley Wood Dene Stream, consider exploring the nearby Whittle Dene reservoirs, located just north of Horsley. This area is renowned for its rich birdlife, including ospreys observed fishing during their season from April to September. Access the bird hide by parking in the layby on the B6318 Military Road and walking east along the Hadrian’s Wall path for about 250 meters. Be aware that the trail can be uneven, and the hide is accessed via steps, which may present challenges for those with mobility issues.
