Quiet country roads and miles of easily accessible off road cycle ways make Weardale a mecca for cyclists.

The unspoilt, uncrowded network of routes offer a wide range of experiences covering leisurely family bike rides / steep hill climbs and invigorating downhill rides / circular routes from 10 (16km) to 24 miles (39km) / woodland rides in the 5000 acres (2000 hectares) Hamsterley Forest.





The C2C cycle route offers a very challenging ride with the most spectacular views as it crosses Weardale.
