バルダーヘッド貯水池のおすすめMTBライド

Nice view's up the reservoir

Beautiful place definitely worth a visit

Among the three reservoirs, Balderhead is the one located furthest to the west. It takes its waters from the River Balder, a tributary of the River Tees, and was built in 1961.

This viaduct was used as a railway for the Tees Valley Railway Company, for which it was built in 1868. Now, out of use, you can cross it on foot.

If you fancy a peaceful run in the area, you should definitely consider doing it around this beautiful spot. Besides the joy of running near the water, it's an ideal way to discover this rural gem and the landscapes that surround it.

Old railway viaduct that you can now use as a walker or cyclist. Impressive.

This former railway line, which roughly follows the route of the Tees river, is now a walking path where cyclists are also welcome. Along the way you regularly come across elements that refer to the past as a train track. From old railway tunnels and railway bridges to a former station passage halfway to Romaldkirk. Although the gravel path is nice for cycling, it is not a path for fast cycling. You will have to regularly slow down for walkers on the narrow path and there are gates on the path that you have to open and close regularly. Truly a path for the connoisseur and party pacer.
