Teesdale has some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain, as well as a
intriguing historical heritage which you are able to explore along the walks.
Each walk in Teesdale will be guided by a team of enthusiastic, friendly fully qualified walk leaders, to help you explore the fantastic countryside.
We have walks to suit everyone, from short, easy walks for beginners and all ability access (wheel chair / push chair friendly) to those which offer more of a challenge.
Everyone is welcome and you are sure to make a new friend.
