Similar in character to the neighbouring Baldersdale, Lunedale is a gorgeous valley in the Pennines AONB. Upper Lunedale hosts two reservoirs, Selsett and Grassholme, which are a delight to walk around.

The Pennine Way passes through on its way to Middleton-in-Teesdale, crossing the Grassholme Reservoir via Grassholme Bridge.
