블랙톤 저수지 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Beautiful place definitely worth a visit

Along this stretch on the left end of Hury Reservoir, you'll follow a narrow path where, on one side, you'll have the reservoir and, on the other, the By Wash canal, which receives excess water from Blackton Reservoir, right next to Hury.

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.

The footbridge over the narrow tail end of Hury Reservoir below the dam of Blackton Reservoir. A useful alternative to crossing the dam.

Hury reservoir was completed in 1892. It's the lowest in a series of three reservoirs on the river Balder designed to control the river flow and provide water to the people and industry of Teesdale.

Baldersdale is an archetypal Pennine valley to the north west of Barnard Castle. Upper Baldersdale contains three reservoirs: Balderhead, Blackton and Hury, all of which boast circular walks. The popular Pennine Way passes through the dale between Balderhead Reservoir and Blackton Reservoir. The curled horns and friendly faces of Swaledale sheep are a common sight on the moors.
