Let's Walk Lower Teesdale

Visitors often overlook the pastoral aspects of Lower Teesdale and head directly into the upper Dale above Barnard Castle. However, Lower Teesdale deserves a more intimate exploration, thus a separate book. The valley undergoes a subtle transition as it reaches its lower environs. The moorland fells dwindle and recede, and the valley takes on a softer character. Lower Teesdale has many stimulating features for those willing to explore further afield, and for walkers, it provides a feast of delights. Famous visitors include Sir Walter Scott, who immortalised Egglestone Abbey in his epic poem Rokeby. Landscape artists, including J. M. W. Turner and John Sell Cotman, captured the beauty of the Tees and Greta during their many visits. Once seen, this enchanting piece of England will linger in your memory. With its clear maps and directions, I hope this book will add to the pleasure of those wishing to seek out some of these unforgettable places. 

Each of the guides has ten circular routes and contains:

• Full-colour maps with numbered pointers to identify the current position for each walk. 
• Illustrated throughout with colour photographs of features seen during the walks.
• Route directions with grid references beside each map to aid navigation.
• What3words, postcode and complete OS reference to identify each walk’s starting point. 

This book covers the area from Romaldkirk to Piercebridge,including the Greta and the Gaunless valleys. The walks provide a stunning Introduction to the diverse scenery of this beautiful area.
