Roseberry Topping
As our most famous landmark, a walk to Rosberry Topping’s summit is a must for any outdoor enthusiast. The 4-mile round trip offers a moderate challenge with steep sections, but the panoramic views from the top make it all worthwhile.
The Teesdale Way
For a taste of this scenic route, try the stretch from Yarm to Stockton. This walk takes you along peaceful riverside paths and past beautiful countryside. It’s a gentle, flat walk, making it suitable for all ages and abilities.
Saltburn to Marske
If you love a coastal walk then this route is a must. Taking you along the Cleveland Way, with stunning views of the North Sea, this 3-mile walk is relatively easy and offers a mix of sandy beaches, grassy cliffs, and sea breezes.
Ropner Park
Ropner Park is the perfect spot for a shorter, more leisurely walk. This Victorian Park is perfect for a peaceful stroll among well-maintained gardens, a picturesque lake, and tree-lined paths. It’s a great place for a family walk to relax and enjoy nature in a more urban setting.
Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park
Just outside Billingham, Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape into nature. With a mix of woodland, ponds, and meadows, it’s a great place for a relaxing walk or a more energetic hike and you may even spot a deer!
