Churchill Track

Highlight • Trail

This is a great off road track, heads all the way to Seaton Deleval from Monkseaton. It’s approximately 3 miles each way.
There are off shot tracks along the way which head to Holywell & Seaton Sluice.
It’s a lot nicer when it’s dry as gets full of puddles when it’s been raining.

Route 10 Connector Path

A fine gravel path that's suitable for all bike types. The trail connects many good cycling routes so it's a great option to get to and from the coast.
