County Durham, the North Pennines and the Eden Valley

40 Favourite Walks

Alastair and Matthew Ross

Some of the wildest and most unspoilt scenery to be found anywhere in England, as well as some of the most peaceful and picturesque, can be discovered between the eastern Lake District and the Durham coast. The 40 walks in this volume take in the beautiful but often overlooked Eden Valley, the high heather-clad Pennine fells and the three great rivers of the North East – the Tyne, Wear and Tees – as well as the farmland and former industrial heartlands of County Durham. Along the way there are upland waterfalls, lush meadows, blustery mountain summits and coastal cliffs, as well as palaces, castles and country estates, to explore and enjoy.
