Burnhope Reservoir is a popular spot for hikers and dog walkers. It's a nice scenic spot with a variety of walks on either side of the reservoir, and there are parking spots at both ends of the dam. There are lovely rest spots with benches on the north side; I don't know regarding the southern side.

From this stone bridge with two arches, you can cross Killhope Burn in the village of Cowshill. If you look closely, very near the bridge, the burn forms a small and beautiful waterfall. Although if you observe it from the bridge, you see it from behind, there are several points around from which you can view the waterfall face-on.

High up in Weardale, Wearhead is where the Burnhope Burn and Killhope Burn merge to form the River Wear, one of the North East's great rivers. The surrounding countryside is sumptuous walking territory, right in the beating heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. To the west of the village is Burnhope Reservoir, which makes for a lovely loop. Meanwhile, some of the highest land in County Durham is within hiking distance, including county high point Burnhope Seat at 2,451 feet (747 m).
