Deepdale Footbridge and View of Barnard Castle

Highlight • Bridge

This funny little bridge (with steps that you have to lift your bike up) is a quiet route alternative to the busy, main road that climbs up to the town centre. You also get a great view of the castle.

Tees Railway Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This former railway line, which roughly follows the route of the Tees river, is now a walking path where cyclists are also welcome. Along the way you regularly come across elements that refer to the past as a train track. From old railway tunnels and railway bridges to a former station passage halfway to Romaldkirk.

Although the gravel path is nice for cycling, it is not a path for fast cycling. You will have to regularly slow down for walkers on the narrow path and there are gates on the path that you have to open and close regularly. Truly a path for the connoisseur and party pacer.

Middleton-in-Teesdale Village Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Nestled in the picturesque Teesdale region, Middleton-in-Teesdale is situated on the northern banks of the River Tees and enveloped by the North Pennines.

This historic town witnessed significant growth in the early 19th century. The London Lead Company's relocation of its northern headquarters from Blanchland in Northumberland marked a transformative period for Middleton-in-Teesdale. Today, echoes of its industrial past can be seen in the well-preserved architecture, such as Middleton House, the former company headquarters, the transformed school now serving as an outdoor centre.
