River Wansbeck Path

Highlight • Trail

A peaceful and traffic-free path along the River Wansbeck that’s a pleasure to cycle on. The surface is mostly good tarmac, but some parts are a bit worn. It's suitable for all bike types though.

Path Along the River

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike trail is very comfortable along the river. Mostly paved, it becomes gravel-ish towards the mouth of the river (it's actually tar gone bad).
