Thorn Green Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

Tiny campsite on terraced ground between trees. Simple place.
Bit midgey but worth a pitch.

Gin Hill Mine Shaft

Highlight • Historical Site

There is little of the old mine itself, other than the narrow entrance to the mine shaft. Easy to confuse with a well, but the information board prevents that.

Bridleway Through North Pennines National Landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

Best to keep to this bridleway until you find the next signpost, easy to get lost around here. The surface is also variable not always rideable but eventually you will get to another split signpost.

Highlight • Trail

Across the moors

Key signpost to find as not much else to see out here, from which you have 4 route options to take.
Terrain out here is variable not always rideable in winter, suspension better but possible on rigid bike.
