Our suggested itinerary for the Teesdale Way walking holiday is a 61 mile way-marked walking trail in County Durham in Northern England.
The route starts in the historic hamlet of Langdon Beck famous in the mid-1800s for its lead mining . The hamlet has an interesting old coaching hotel. This part of Upper Teesdale is dominated by High Moorland covered with heather. The walking route soon reaches the famous and stunning High Force Waterfall set in a rocky gorge. The walking route follows the river bank and the Pennine Way past the waterfalls known as Low Force. Walking on from Low Force the landscape changes to more undulating country with hill farms with their dry stone walls and sheep dominating the landscape.
You reach Middleton-in-Teesdale with its selection of shops and restaurants, many offering traditional English country fayre, surrounded by rolling hills. The walking route starts to be waymarked as The Teesdale Way from Middleton-in-Teesdale. The route now passes through rolling farmland and little villages with their distinctive honey colour stone construction. The area has many country houses with Eggleston Hall a very fine example.
Barnard Castle is an interesting town with its castle, old town bridge, famous Bowes Museum and a fine selection of independent shops offering a wide choice of local Northumberland products. The town is well worth taking an extra day to explore.
Walking on from Barnard Castle the Teesdale Way soon reaches the ruins of Egglestone Abbey and crosses the Abbey Bridge dating from 1773. The walking trail passes through several charming riverside villages full of history. Piercebridge is an interesting village with the remains of a Roman Bridge and Roman Fort.
Walking on from Piercebridge the villages become closer to each other and the affulent little riverside villages offer a fine selection of inns, resturants and upmarket shops. The Tees is now quite a wide shallow river and pleasent to walk beside.
Yarm is a large affluent town with a fine selection of local shops and cafes together with an old town bridge and imposing railway viaduct. Walking on from Yarm the river side becomes more built up until reaching the oasis of Preston Park with its fine Parklands interesting museum and Butterfly World.
The walking trail soon reaches the historic city of Middlesburgh with its large selection of shops and resturants. The highlight of this last selection of the trail must be the world famous Middlesburgh Transporter Bridge built in 1911 over the River Tees.
