    Derwent Walk follows the route of the Derwent Valley Railway that carried industrial materials across the region. Since its closure, the area has been reclaimed by wildlife and become a haven for cyclists and hikers.



    The traffic-free route runs through riverside wetlands, wild meadows, and Derwenthaugh Park.

      Just a really nice long accent. No traffic. Dog walkers, joggers and cyclists only.

        Excellent cycleway, good for Hill training, only a slight gradient, but it trains your legs up, when you had enough just turn around. Try starting from Pedalling Squares cafe, challenge yourself to get to Consett or put big effort on and go to Parkhead Station. But check the weather if you go there, in summer, it can feel like winter.
