It can be zla lovely short varied walk, in nice place, if you pick the right weather & time of year but remember it's popular with dog walkers & the Tanfield railway runs a long the top. This can make for a good day out traveling the line & walking the alley to have a picnic or visit the cafe in the summer.

Ascend a winding staircase to the summit of Penshaw Hill, where a magnificent 21-meter Victorian folly stands amidst awe-inspiring vistas that stretch across Sunderland and its surrounding countryside. The folly is one of the North East's most prominent landmarks, and can be seen for miles around. Locals are so proud of the monument it even features on the Sunderland Football Club's badge.

Perfect if you want to spend a couple of hours surrounded by nature and see some lovely views. Wear comfortable shoes, take some water. I hiked it in shorts but I think you’d be more comfortable wearing longer pants. Enjoy!

The 600-acre Gibside Estate was built between 1603 and 1620. It's an excellent example of a landscaped Georgian garden with some areas achieving SSSI status. The house was left empty in 1920 and partly demolished - the shell is now a listed building on the property in danger list. The National Trust owns and manages the house and garden now. It's paid entry unless you're a NT member. As a runner there are a few miles of safe and well-maintained trails around the estate. You can extend a run by following the River Derwent trails which connect Gibside to Newcastle.

Causey Arch is the oldest surviving single span railway bridge in the world. It was built in 1727 and at the time was also the widest single span bridge. It used to carry the coal trains from a nearby colliery but that's long closed.

The cycle path misses the motorway out and goes past and underneath. always stop for a photo though.

It's smaller than expected!

worth the journey, on a weekend you can pay a fee and go to the top and enjoy some fantastic views of the north east
