Walking

There's plenty of scope to explore Durham on foot, from a leisurely city stroll along the banks of the River Wear to the more strenuous Pennine Way. Durham's Heritage Coast offers a stunning landscape of beaches, cliffs and headlands, whilst the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Durham Dales are truly special places that have much to offer - from wild moorland to picturesque villages nestling in valleys. 

Further details on walking routes and guided walks across Durham can be obtained from: Durham County Council countryside events and guided walks; The Ramblers-Durham Group; North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
